Pigeon Delays Delta Flight: Passenger's Hilarious Attempt to Catch Stowaway Bird

A Delta Air Lines flight was delayed for about an hour at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on May 28, 2025, after two pigeons were spotted on the plane. Passenger video shows a fellow traveler attempting to capture one of the birds. "I couldn't believe my eyes," said the passenger, who wishes to remain anonymous, "I've never seen anything like it." A Delta spokesperson confirmed the incident, stating that the flight arrived safely in Madison, Wisconsin, after the birds were removed by a baggage handler. The unexpected delay highlights the occasional unpredictable nature of air travel, even with major airlines like Delta. The incident, however, ended without any serious consequences, and the passengers arrived at their destination, albeit a little later than planned.
