Hooonk-!

That sound alone was like a whistle; With it, zoo animals already knew what was up:

That one goose was terrorizing the zookeepers again.

And that was a show that couldn’t be missed! Sure, some animals would rather ignore it and mind their own business, but most end up treating themselves to the view. Heck, some would even hold bets among themselves over the result-- majority of time they bet against the zookeepers because they know better:

That goose is out for blood. Which is already an understatement.

HONK!

The chaos-filled avian stood might, wings spread wide with a couple flaps at them. It then retracted them back, its long neck lowered forward like a snake getting ready to lunge. Before it, a zookeeper and a janitor, both slowly taking tentative steps towards the goose, who just stood there, dark eyes fixated on them and without a flinch.

“ Shoo! Shoo already! ” The janitor tries to scare the bird off jolting their broom towards it.

Big mistake. Ya lil’ cleanin’ wood device doesn’t scare this bad boi. It honks loudly in reply.

“ I said SHOO! ” The janitor tries again, gets the broom a little too close, and the goose didn’t miss the opportunity. It immediately latched its beak on the base, and boy it wasn’t letting go if it had a say in it. The janitor ends up forced into an unwanted tug-o-war game with the aggressive avian, and it proved good at pulling back: Not only do geese HAVE teeth (on their beaks AND tongues,) they also have very strong necks!

The broom can’t take this. It gives in, ike the pathetic limp tree it is. And the janitor finds themselves with only the stick in their hands, defeated.

The zookeeper that was with them could be said to be better equipped, holding a snare pole. They march forward with it while the goose is remotely distracted by the weight of the piece of the broom they held, aiming to restrain it by the neck.

Too slow, though. the bird sees through their trick, letting go of the weight and opening its wings it takes flight and slips off the zookeeper’s range, who fails to stop and ends up tripping over a fence and into the ostriches’ area. Loser.

“ I got this-! ” Enters another zookeeper, one of the newbies. On one hand their expertise are anyone’s guess, on the other hand, new blood might introduce new things into play. The newbie has a fishnet (that they use to filter out remains of dead fish and other litters from the waters of the aquatic areas,) and throws it up attempting to catch the goose in the air.

It’s a tight spot, but the goose manages to evade it by a nickel mid-flight, but by doing so it forced itself to practically nose-dive itself into the water of the penguins’ area.

The three employees, who had been stunned by the bird but were recovering themselves, failed to see where it had escaped to. The janitor and the newbie had to help the zookeeper out of the ostriches’ area, and the three walked away from the vicinity likely to look for the demonic goose elsewhere.

... no signal came from the surface of the water. Either something happened to that goose, or it was ‘playing dead.’
