MINNEAPOLIS — Unbeknown to pilot or crew, a pair of pigeons were hitching a ride in the cabin of Delta Flight 2348 from MSP to Madison. One pigeon made its presence known, pecking around under seats after the plane was sealed for takeoff. On the cockpit microphone the pilot alerted the 332 passengers to a “widlife situation.” A baggage handler came aboard and removed the bird. The plane was resealed and left the gate on schedule at 10:20 p.m. But as the plane taxied to a runway, a second bird fluttered out of no where and flew up the aisle in panic toward the now again-sealed cabin door. As passengers screeched, Tom Caw unbuckled and intercepted this second pigeon in his jacket and wrapped it inside. The baggage handler came back and took the bird. The plane, by now 20 minutes behind schedule, took off for an uneventful 65-minute flight to Madison.
