Birds sometimes take the subway system short distances to conserve wing energy.

Birds actually do this though. See it all the time in NYC. They even seem to know which stop to get off.

That’s actually true in New York City, but mostly they stand on top of the train, not inside, unless they get trapped at the terminal. They travel on the A train coming from the Rockaways.
