Petting Zoo: Pair of Parrots Steal the Softball Show

Season 53 Episode 30 | 2m 24s

A pair of parrots, Tiki and Lelu, made an unexpected appearance at a college women's softball game! The game was temporarily interrupted when the two birds flew onto the field, one of them landing on the home plate umpire's shoulder. Despite the interruption, the umpire continued on, pretending not to notice the big, colorful bird inches away from his head.
