Delta flight delayed after bird flies into cockpit
An unexpected stowaway forced a Delta flight to turn around late Saturday morning.

Delta flight 1943 from Detroit to Atlanta had to return to Detroit “shortly after takeoff” because a small sparrow had snuck into the cockpit, airport officials said.

The feathered culprit slipped on the plane during boarding and then made its way into the cockpit, where the captain become aware of the nuisance.

Maintenance crews were called in to help look for the bird, but it was so small neither the crews nor the captain could find it after searching for more than an hour – and delaying the flight at least that long, Fox 5 Atlanta reports.

The pilot initially announced to passengers that they may need to do a plane swap after they were unable to locate the bird, but ultimately decided to proceed as scheduled and fly the plane to Atlanta.

A passenger on board said “literally an hour into the flight,” the captain made another announcement to the crew and passengers, Click on Detroit reported.

“I have an update that the bird is back and it's going a little nuts in here in the cockpit and we do not feel safe continuing on this flight, so we're going to go back to Detroit," passenger Brian Buonassissi told Click on Detroit.

Once the plane landed back in Detroit, crews were able to find the bird and safely remove it from the plane, officials said.

The flight continued on to Atlanta after a long delay. Some passengers had to rebook flights because the delay caused them to miss their connections.

Buonassissi, an international DJ who was on his way to a gig, said, "I have had some crazy stories, but that one takes the cake for sure."

A Delta pilot traveling from Detroit to Atlanta returned to the airport when he found a small-winged creature flapping around his large-winged aircraft on Saturday.

Flight 1943 from Detroit Metropolitan Airport departed around 11 a.m. ET, according to Flight Stats, but landed at the same airport roughly an hour later after a bird was discovered in the cockpit. The pilot’s decision was made “out of an abundance of caution” to “avoid a potential distraction,” an airline spokesperson said in a statement.

Delta said the bird was able to sneak on board undetected as the flight’s paying customers made their way to their seats.

Flight crew had actually noticed it prior to takeoff, according to a Washington Post investigation, but a search of the aircraft proved fruitless, and so the pilot continued as usual.

As passengers and crew soared above the Midwest, however, everything changed.

Passengers recalled the pilot making an announcement over the intercom: The bird had returned.

Back in Detroit, the Post reported, workers were able to locate the unwelcome passenger, trap it in a towel, and set it free outside.

Regrettably, reports did not indicate precisely what kind of bird it was.
