Birds Are Supposed to Fly Outside

I showed up for a 10:00 departure out of Columbus, Ohio.  The Gate Agent explains: “There is a problem.” A few birds got in the aircraft and are flying around.  What can we do? I didn’t think our passengers would appreciate the winged company, so we got the crew together and developed a plan.  First of all, open all the doors but don’t fall out.  Then get some brooms and try to herd the birds towards the back exits and freedom.  A couple went easily but the last two took some work.  It was comical as our crew is crawling over seat backs with brooms after these little frightened critters.  Wish I had a video camera.  Finally success.  We boarded and were off.
