Moskowitz took one gander at a pair of angry geese outside his office and decided it was better to enter the building through a back door, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

Moskowitz uploaded a video on Twitter showing the goose blocking his path to his Tallahassee office.

“I am not able to access the Division of Emergency Management this morning because this geese has decided that it is now his building,” Moskowitz can be heard saying in the video. “This is a battle royal for the Division of Emergency Management, and I’m not gonna lie, I am losing.”

The goose responded with a hiss, and Moskowitz beat a hasty retreat.
