It may be common for commercial flights to be full of frequent fliers, but this is ridiculous. A Delta flight was delayed twice due to two pigeons being found flying around in the cabin.
From ABC News:
The first bird began flying around the cabin shortly after boarding, prompting the aircraft to return to the gate. Ground crew removed it, but as the plane taxied out for takeoff, a second pigeon took flight, forcing the flight back once again.
While it's not known if the pigeons were trying to keep the airliner from encroaching on the birds' turf, Delta issued an official apology. To the passengers, not the pigeons.
In a statement to ABC News on Tuesday, the airline confirmed the flight was delayed by 56 minutes and said it 'appreciates the careful actions of our people and our customers to safely remove two birds from the aircraft prior to departure, and we apologize to our customers for the delay in their travel.'
I bet the pigeons had had enough of the passenger behind them kicking their seats.
