An Atlanta-bound [f500link]Delta[/f500link] flight was forced to turn around after a bird flew into the cockpit on Saturday.

Members of the flight crew saw a sparrow fly onto the plane before the flight took off from Detroit, and delayed the journey while they tried — unsuccessfully — to locate and remove the unwanted guest, Fox 5 Atlanta reports. The plane eventually took off, but the bird resurfaced in the cockpit during the flight, causing the pilot to turn around.
