Airplanes are exposed to the elements and spend quite a bit of time on the ground, so it’s not totally unusual to see some wildlife make its way into the cabin. However, here’s something you don’t often see….

I bet the charged those pigeons a premium for being the worlds 2nd most profitable airline.
Are their diapers for the falcons, or do they just crap all over the place ? I do see some plastic in the foreground of the pic, so maybe it's for that purpose.
I imagine they are well behaved, but still. I don't know if they're prolific crappers, but the smell & hygiene of it all seems questionable.
I'd rather see a falcon as part of the airline's logo on the exterior of the aircraft ( Gulf Air ) although these days the way pax conduct is devolving, my opinion may change ... !
If these were Mr. and Mrs. Pigeon, it would have been cruel to have one in Minneapolis and the other one 288 miles apart. Pigeons are monogamous and choose a mate for a long time if not for life. My take: Remove from the plane both or none.
Had a bat on Aer Lingus in 1978. Flying from Shannon to Toronto. Is and the bat. Flight originated in Rome where the bat allegedly boarded.
Took 90 odd minutes before crew caught it with a blanket. It was funny as sh$t as pax were terrified it would catch their hair and give them rabies.
Don't know how Customs treated it upon arrival.
Even if on the A350 the SUITES!!! with DOORS!!! wouldn’t have been a huge benefit to a pigeon
Poop. When you wanna fly... But you're also a little tired... They have found an alternative!
"And heck, at least the pigeons had good taste, choosing to fly Delta, for that world renowned premium experience. It’s just a shame they didn’t get to fly the new Airbus A350-1000."
Ben just wanted to rub salt in the wound of Tim Dunn lol (who I believe is now permanently banned?)
you would be wrong.
It's an interesting story but doesn't move the needle in the world... I give Ben credit for finding a story that I had not read elsewhere.
The real advantage is speed. MSP to MSN takes an hour in a DL jet and days? for the pigeons.
When you just gotta get there, Delta is Ready When You Are.
What does these pigeons and Tim Dunn have in common.
Both are full of sh*t and ready spread sh*t on everyone.
Why did the pigeon choose the Delta flight? …. Because it didn’t want to ‘wing-it’ like Eskimo …. Boom-boom!
If you read back through it, both were found while still at MSP - one at the gate, and one while taxiing.
Absolutely Tim, however, one does try to lighten the atmosphere, even with a sick joke …. 🙂
I’m all for fresher food in domestic first class, but that squab was a little too fresh.
