The pigeon, which was eventually captured, was one of two that emerged on the Wisconsin-bound plane at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, WCCO News reported.
'The pilot gets on and says, 'Ladies and gentlemen, we have a wildlife situation on the plane,'' passenger Tom Caw told the outlet.

The other feathering stow-away was walking under the seat until a Delta baggage handler picked it up.
The two pigeons led to a brief delay Saturday night.

Justin Bieber Shares Cryptic Post "Loyalty" and "Love"
Justin Bieber has fans speculating thanks to three back-to-back Instagram posts that are cryptic to say the least. Justin first hopped online early in the morning on June 3, writing "Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else's kids. Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn't have. The audacity. That's not your place. God decides what we deserve." He didn't clarify what or who he was referring to, but returned to Instagram later in the day to say "'LOYALTY' is manipulative language. Loyalty is duty, it's an obligation. THATS NOT FREE WILL. Love is NOT a duty. LOVE IS A DELIGHT. Please stop using loyalty to keep people around you out of your own fear its hurting us. Mafia members use loyalty to keep people in their gangs. Lets not perpetuate this manipulative language. LOVE OVER LOYALTY FOREVER." He then posted a selfie featuring some slippers, and wrote a simple "U DONT GET TO DECIDE WHOS WORTHY. OR WHO DESERVES WHAT. GOD DOES 💪🏼" Again, Justin didn't clarify who his messages were aimed at—and it's fully possible that he was speaking generally. Either way, the singer's messages come amid a lot of speculation about his relationship with Hailey Bieber and people in the comments are definitely jumping to some conclusions. Which is why it feels relevant to note that Hailey liked his first post out of these three!

Grief Expert Debuts New Book That Sparks a Cultural Shift in How We Mourn Our Animals
A groundbreaking, heart-forward guide to grief as connection, not closure LOS ANGELES, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Internationally recognized pet loss grief counselor Beth Bigler is breaking the silence around one of the most misunderstood forms of grief with the release of her deeply moving debut book, Honoring Our Animals: 365 Meditations for Healing After Pet Loss (Wellfleet Press/Quarto Publishing Group). In a world that often tells us to "move on" after losing a beloved animal, Bigler offers a brave and compassionate alternative: to move with the grief, honoring the unbreakable bond that remains. This transformative guide reframes pet loss not as an ending, but as an evolution of love, one that can continue long after the physical presence is gone. With 365 meditations, affirmations, and grounding practices, Honoring Our Animals becomes a daily companion for those navigating the profound sorrow of pet loss. Drawing on her years of experience as a grief counselor, animal chaplain, and end-of-life doula, Bigler walks with readers through the emotional landscape of loss and provides language, validation, and tools for resilience. "This book is a labor of love," says Bigler. "It holds the wisdom I've gathered from years of sitting with heartbreak. My hope is to help people stay connected—to the animal they loved, to their own strength, and to the truth that their grief is an expression of love, not weakness." With her signature heart-centered voice, Bigler introduces terms like "beloved" instead of "pet" and "transition" instead of "death," inviting readers to grieve with tenderness and intention. The book includes a "grief feelings wheel" and gentle journaling prompts designed to help readers process complex emotions like guilt, longing, unmooring, and anxiety. This is not a manual for "letting go." It is an invitation to stay close, to remember, to honor, and to continue the relationship in new and enduring ways. Honoring Our Animals is more than a book. It is a movement to bring pet grief into the light, to affirm the love that animals leave behind, and to create a culture where mourning them is met with understanding and care. Available now on Amazon and at major retailers in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. About the Author Beth Bigler is a globally respected pet loss grief counselor, certified end-of-life companion animal doula, pet chaplain, and founder of Honoring Our Animals. She supports individuals, families, and veterinary professionals around the world through anticipatory and post-loss grief. Her work is grounded in the belief that love never ends, and neither should the care we offer those who grieve.
