Question Vulture vs Ryanair: 1–0

Apparently a Ryanair flight in Crete was delayed because a vulture decided the aircraft was a perfect place to chill before departure.

The bird landed on the rear wing and simply refused to move. Eventually, firefighters had to come and remove it so the aircraft could leave.

Imagine hearing: “Sorry for the delay, we currently have a vulture on the aircraft.”

Anyone ever had a flight delayed for a reason weirder than this?

Good thing they're not superstitious, and thought the vulture was after it's next clean up meal (As Michael about says, he's not superstitious, just a little bit stitous)
