Chaos in the Sky: Pigeons Force Delta Flight to Return to Gate Twice

Delta Flight Disrupted Twice by Pigeons A Delta Airlines flight experienced an unusual delay on May 28th, 2025, when two pigeons caused significant disruptions. The first incident occurred shortly after pushback, with a pigeon flying freely in the cabin. Passengers described the scene as chaotic. "It was quite something," said one passenger, "I've never seen anything like it on a plane before." The plane returned to the gate, and airport employees removed the bird. However, the drama wasn't over. A second pigeon later took flight, causing the plane to return to the gate a second time. The flight eventually continued after the second bird was removed. While unusual, the incident highlights the unexpected challenges faced in air travel. The quick response from airport staff ensured the safety of passengers and a relatively swift resolution to the situation.
