Minneapolis Delta flight thrown into chaos as stowaway pigeons storm cabin

Chaotic footage shows the frantic moment a pigeon burst onto a Delta Airlines plane Saturday as passengers tried to capture the rogue bird.

According to a video shared by news organizations, a passenger tried to catch the flapping bird using a piece of clothing while fellow travelers yelled in surprise.

The bird, eventually caught, was one of two pigeons that appeared on the flight headed for Wisconsin from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, as reported by WCCO News.

“The pilot gets on and says, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we have a wildlife situation on the plane,’” passenger Tom Caw told the outlet.

The other feathering stow-away was walking under the seat until a Delta baggage handler picked it up.

The two pigeons led to a brief delay Saturday night.
