Mani, a 13-year-old parakeet, picks up a card with the flag of the Netherlands
A crowd of soccer fans leans forward as Mani, Singapore's World Cup-forecasting parakeet, creeps out of his small wooden cage and chooses between two white cards - one hiding the flag of the Netherlands, the other Spain.If the bird's many new believers are right, Holland will win its first World Cup championship Sunday.Eyes around the world were on Germany's octopus oracle Paul on Friday as he made his biggest prediction yet in the World Cup: Spain will beat the Netherlands in the final.
This should be interesting both the bird and the octopus are batting 100% so far.
But sorry Paul I got to go with the bird on this one.
Both Spain and the Netherlands will be looking for their first World Cup title Sunday.
