Video shows bird meowing

SAN ANTONIO – Passengers on a Delta flight from Miami to Los Angeles Sunday were surprised when they heard meowing and saw a bird instead of a cat.

One passenger, Maja Bjarnason, was sitting next to a man who had his emotional support bird along for the flight.

“Everyone kept hearing meowing, and then someone asked if there was a cat on board. Then we see a bird come out from under this guy's shirt and he sat on the tray table and meowed for us,” Bjarnason said.

According to Bjarnason, the man told her the bird doesn’t chirp, he only meows. She said the bird could also play dead.

The man told passengers aboard the flight that his emotional support bird travels with him everywhere, sitting on his belt or under his shirt, and never flies away.
