With a peacock perched on her arm, a woman attempted to check in for her flight at a New Jersey airport last Saturday (Jan 27).

 
She and her "emotional support animal" were turned away by United Airlines despite her offer to buy the bird its own air ticket, US media reported.
 
In photos posted on travel talk show The Jet Set's Facebook page, the large pheasant could be seen resting on a luggage trolley.
 
Reports of the incident have ruffled the feathers of netizens.
 
Some of them said that United Airlines should have allowed the traveller to board her flight with her peacock while others called the incident ridiculous.
 
Several airlines in the United States allow service animals and emotional support animals in the cabin to accompany persons with disabilities. However, these travellers have to produce documentation from licensed healthcare professionals.
 
United told NBC News that the woman was barred from the flight as the peacock did not meet meet guidelines such as weight and size. The airline said this was explained to the woman before she turned up at the airport. It added that it is reviewing its current policy regarding assistance animals.
 
Now, other netizens have cast doubt on whether the peacock is an actual emotional support animal as more details of the traveller and her bird have emerged online.

The woman was identified as conceptual artist Ventiko who said in a separate interview that she adopted the bird after using it in a performance art piece in 2014.
 
Ventiko named it Dexter and even set up an Instagram account documenting her pet's daily life.

We all bring our cock on board and never get ban. Our also emotional support. Anyone disagree?

 

Discrimination against cock with feathers.

For this kind of exotic birds, I don't think the airline wants to compensate if anything happens to it during the flight.

She should fly Lufthansa next time...

 

Finally, A Way To Bring Birds On Planes

Falconers can rejoice because the days of stuffing their birds into their carry-on luggage are behind them. Lufthansa apparently offers an on-board solution for the hordes of falconers traveling by air, and it only costs other people their seats.
 
It’s called the Falcon Master and it isn’t new, but it’s worth talking about now because we are always thinking of the falcons.
 
The Falcon Master, according to Lufthansa, is a patented bird stand (a patented bird stand!) for the birds during the flight. Of the plane, not the falcons.
 
There’s a big tray under the perch to catch all of the falcon’s shit, so the airplane cabin stays nice and clean, and if the falconer desires, bird feeders and cleaning materials can also be provided.
 
The Falcon Master can be installed above the folded seats used in Airbus, Boeing and other planes, because falcon transport is obviously much more important than people transport. Installation is quick and fast and the perch stores easily when it’s not being used.
 
With this clever little device, Lufthansa has no doubt taken over the falcon transport corner of the aviation industry. It was sorely needed.
