Some very rich person bought a plane seat for each of their falcons

It's pretty sad when some pets lead nicer lives than most people on earth.

Redditor lensoo shared an equally bizarre and awesome photo of an airplane cabin on Monday of an absurd number of falcons travelling on an airplane, each with their very own seat.

"My captain friend sent me this photo," the caption reads. "Saudi prince bought ticket for his 80 hawks."

While it's not uncommon to see some odd animals on planes, like an emotional support duck, multiple rows filled with falcons will surely make even a seasoned traveller's head spin.

Though it may be strange to some, seeing falcons on a plane in the Middle East isn't actually all that uncommon.

Another Redditor shared this post from four years ago, which shows a very similar situation.
