Showing Original Post only (View all)Fowl Play — Passenger Brings Emotional Support Turkey on Plane [View all]
https://www.yahoo.com/travel/fowl-play-passenger-brings-emotional-support-160550372.htmlIn what sounds like the set up for a bad joke, a turkey and a man walked onto a plane.
Surprisingly, this not a joke.
On Sunday, passengers on a Delta Airlines flight were shocked when a turkey boarded their plane.
Capturing this shocking moment was Reddit user biggestlittlepickle who posted a photo with the caption, My neighbour is a flight attendant. He just posted this photo of someones therapy pet, on his flight.
These days, its a common occurrence to see people flying with an emotional support animal. These pets are a therapeutic tool for travelers, and can help to alleviate anxiety or assist those with a disability.
In most cases, support animals are cats or dogs because they are cuddly and protective just as a support animal should be.
But turkeys arent the first animal you would associate with comfort. Still, there it was on the plane, and after the flight, another passenger snapped a photo of it riding a wheelchair through the airport.

Here's how Gobbley gets around the airport:

Turkeys are awesome. Human babies should definitely fly crated in cargo. Too loud and smelly.

In answer to your question looks like it's legal to have your pecker on a plane
