@abc7chicago: A small bird carrying a beak-full of twigs wriggled its way inside an aircraft’s wing before takeoff. Anushok Ashok was sitting in his seat waiting to fly from New Delhi to Dubai when he spotted a little bird – beak full of twigs – prancing across the aircraft’s right wing. The bird can be seen hopping into a space above a spoiler. “The birdie knows @emirates is the safest,” Ashok wrote in an Instagram post. Ashok later commented that the bird flew away before takeoff.

probably should have mentioned that prior to takeoff. sticks inside gears and mechanisms may not work too well in the air

There’s actually about 3000 more birds underneath that wing alone. How the hell do you think planes fly?

Pilot here.the reason planes can fly is because we have birds stuffed in the wing.

I’m not a pilot as of yet, but I’m in flight training and you should definitely notify someone on the crew of that.😳

I’m very confused as to why you would see this and not immediately get an air steward… there could be compromised mechanics in there.. but maybe that’s not obvious as it is to me?? Am I over thinking it??

Thank you, ABC7 Chicago, for telling me about something related to a domestic Indian flight. Very pertinent to Chicago.

It's a potential safety issue, this is why most airlines employ wing gremlins

Pilot here! Unlike just benzi 😪 it’s fine. Birds cannot build nest in planes that regularly fly.
