On Saturday, May 24, 2025, a Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport to Madison, Wisconsin, faced unexpected delays due to two pigeons aboard the aircraft. The first pigeon was discovered walking under seats and was removed by a baggage handler before takeoff. As the plane began taxiing, a second pigeon took flight inside the cabin, causing commotion among passengers. One traveler attempted to catch the bird with a jacket amidst the chaos. The pilot announced a "wildlife situation" and returned the plane to the gate. Both birds were safely removed, and the flight resumed after a brief delay. Delta apologized and commended staff and passengers for handling the situation calmly.
