In 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 someone’s ‘therapy pet,’ on his flight.”

These days, it’s 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 aren’t 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.
