You’ve Heard Of Snakes On A Plane- But What About Pigeons On A Plane?
Maybe they just needed a ride?
It happened to a GoAir airplane while it waited to take off. Footage was recently uploaded to social media that shows two pigeons flying around the cabin.
A couple of flight attendants tried to catch the birds, but were unsuccessful.

There were mixed emotions on the plane. Some passengers were upset and freaked out while others were amused by the situation.
Despite the intruders, the flight still reportedly took off on time. The crew were able to get the birds off the plane before things got messy…
