Cue the puns......

A female traveller was recently banned from taking a large "emotional-support peacock" on board a United Airlines flight, it has emerged.

She had offered to buy the bird its own plane ticket, according to travel blog Live and Let Fly.

Nonetheless the airline refused to let the bird board at Newark airport in New Jersey, saying it did not meet guidelines due to its weight and size.

United says this was explained to the traveller before she arrived at Newark.

How many kilograms of emotional support can you fit in a peacock?

My project was a multi-sensory site specific installation entitled 'On Beauty,' focusing on ethereal and carnal beauty, I created a photographic spectacle embracing voyeurism, the human form, perversion of art history symbolism and iconography inspired by the flora and fauna of Florida

So it's mucky right? :shock:

She would get more emotional support if she dropped the pea

Would the aircraft weigh less if the Peacock took flight during flight? :whistle:

And if you hung a flag from its leg, which way would it blow?

ISTR reading that some Gulf airlines allow First Class passengers to bring hawks/falcons on board, to travel in the cabin ..
