The parrot, Me-Tu was accompanying owner Irene Kerrigan to a game between Hertfordshire Rangers and Hatfield Town.
Ref Gary Bailey, 45, told the Daily Mirror: "I've never known anything like it. This woman was standing right by the touchline and suddenly unveiled this big green parrot.
"Every time I blew my whistle the bird made exactly the same sound.
"The players all stopped so I had to ask her to move the parrot."
"The players all stopped so I had to ask her to move the parrot."
He added: "I've never sent off a parrot before."
Apart from his whistling, Me-Tu also shouted "pretty boy" at the players from his cage on the sidelines.
She said: "He loves his football and I'll take him back down there."
Hatfield Town beat her team 5-2.
