Birds of a feather may flock together, but United Airlines recently shot down one traveler’s request to bring her emotional support peacock on a flight departing Newark Liberty International Airport.
Live and Let Fly reported earlier this week that even though the unidentified woman claimed that she had a second ticket for the peacock, the airline denied her request.

That beak looks kinda sharp.
She wins!
Support turkey is a close second.
Have ya’ll ever heard a peacock ?????...................
Emotional support peacock? Utterly ridiculous. Why doesn’t she get it together and get an rational mind elephant?
Here is my understanding why there is such nonsense going on.
There is a certification process for these animals which would solve most of these problems. No certificate then you are not allowed to bring the animal with you.
However, the American for Disabilities Act forbids anyone to request a certificate. How dumb is that?
I have no idea why the law was written that way but it should be fixed.
That airline is MEAN to Peacocks. That’s RACIST! Someone call PETA!
How about my emotional support gorilla? Can I take my emotional support gorilla on the United Flight????
A guy I know used to raise them. He says they can be mean as hell........
PASSENGER: Gasp . . . sniff . . . I’m just too scared to fly without my emotional support peacock! I just can’t do it without Peabrain! Peabrain and I go EVERYWHERE together!
SANE PERSON: How about if you bring your psychiatrist, instead?
PASSENGER: Well, I would, but I’ve put him in a kennel for the week!
It was written that way to bring thousands of attorneys into the fray. Enough said ?
Maybe if she packed it into a guitar case.
Good, I hope these idiots keep taking their “emotional support animals” everywhere. Soon people will see it for the scam that it is and put an absolute stop to it.
Can’t handle a couple hours without your mangy dog? Then drive.
Put the animal in a cage in the hold and get a nice warm fluffy teddy bear. You’ll live.
I truly cannot stand people who give human characteristics to an animal.
My SIL insists that the family bird come on vacation with them because he craves human attention and will be lonely.
We have a bird of the same species that has never left the house. He’s just fine. When we leave for a week or more, we have a friend stop in to check the winged rat, but just because I don’t want to come home to a smelly bird carcass in the bottom of the cage stinking up the rest of the house.
Just another typical liberal Democrat..she needs an emotional support PEACOCK to help her..you can’t make this sh*t up..what next, how about an emotional support zebra
I want to fly with an emotional support wolverine.
OK , which one is the Peacock ?
Nasty, mean and LOUD.
Oh, this poor, poor woman.
They should give her a free chicken dinner.
Did she get through TSA with it?
So, I can’t get a 6 oz tube of toothpaste thru the TSA checkpoint, but you can waltz thru with a live peacock. Did the TSA at least scan the peacock for explosives?
