A video captured a pigeon flying around the cabin of a Delta plane in Minneapolis, with a passenger shrieking as a man tried to capture the bird with his coat. 

The incident onboard Delta Flight 2348 late Saturday delayed its arrival in Madison, Wis., for around an hour. 

“When I boarded Delta Flight 2348 at MSP tonight, I overheard another passenger tell a flight attendant there was a pigeon on the plane. The pilot got on the mic and confirmed a pigeon was on the plane, and said he had no experience with this situation,” passenger Tom Caw wrote on Instagram. “Baggage handlers boarded and carried the pigeon off. People applauded. A young girl asked if she could pet it.” 

“The plane eventually pulled away and began taxiing to the runway, and then another pigeon emerged! This is my video of it flying through the cabin,” Caw continued.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Delta 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.”
