A Delta flight encountered unexpected chaos when two pigeons were discovered in the main cabin on Saturday. Passenger Tom Caw reported the first sighting just before the flight was set to depart from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. After the initial bird was found, the pilot decided to return to the gate to remove it. As the flight began taxiing for takeoff again, a second pigeon appeared, causing panic among passengers who screamed as it flew down the aisle.
Caw shared the incident on Instagram, noting that the pilot communicated with the control tower about the unusual situation, highlighting that it was a first for the officer on the ground. However, the pilot himself had experienced a similar event just half an hour prior. Following the chaos, Delta Airlines issued an apology for the disruption, which affected the flight scheduled to arrive in Madison, Wisconsin. The airline expressed gratitude for the efforts of both staff and passengers in safely removing the birds before departure and acknowledged the inconvenience caused to travelers.
Caw humorously speculated on Instagram that the pigeons might have been tired of flying and sought snacks, although he pointed out that the short duration of the flight did not include any food or beverage service. Ultimately, a baggage handler was responsible for removing the second pigeon, bringing the unusual incident to a close. Delta Airlines is known for its commitment to passenger safety and events like this, while rare, can generate unexpected and lighthearted moments during travel.
