Back on track

bird was eventually caught and released after successful efforts by staff to catch it but it still mand to delay flight by 20 minutes. However, it was reported that  passengers were onboard during time of  incident and refore injury was recorded eir.

One person commenting on pigeon incident online said, "I am pretty sure that this pigeon has mand to lay its eggs in re in that time." would certainly explain why pigeon didn't want to leave.

Ar user ded, " Such a determined pigeon, I bet it was trying to migrate to its family or bring m something from capital city. Well, it would t be right of us to speculate on how much cabin lugg pigeon stowaways are assigned on flights".
