Pigeons boards Delta flight 2348 from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport to Madison, Wisconsin, video shows

Two pigeons tried to get a free ride from Minneapolis to Wisconsin over the holiday weekend.

Video captured by passenger Tom Caw shows as a passenger tries to capture one of the pigeons.

Caw said that as he boarded Delta Airlines flight 2348 he overheard a passenger tell a flight attendant there was a bird on the plane.

Soon after, the pilot confirmed the bird was on the plane and said “he had no experience with this situation,” according to Caw.

Passengers applauded as baggage handlers captured the bird and carried it off the flight.

As the plane began to taxi to the runway, Caw said a second pigeon emerged.

In video captured by Caw, a man is seen using a jacket to try to catch it.

“When the pilot contacted the control tower to report our return because of a pigeon, the controller mentioned it was the first time he had heard of such an incident,” shared Caw on social media. The pilot then informed him that it was actually the second time for him, with the first occurrence happening just half an hour before,”

Flight 2348 took off from Minneapolis’ Saint Paul International Airport and touched down at Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin, as recorded on FlightAware.com.

According to the flight tracker, the plane arrived 56 minutes late.
