This is the hilarious moment a girl was chased by geese as she tried to safely remove them from a driveway.

CCTV footage shows the youngster approaching four birds lounging on the tarmac with a thin tree branch she found outside her home in Hunan, China.

She then dashed towards the animals and stopped just inches away, tapping the stick repeatedly on the ground in an attempt to drive them off the road on March 19.

However, two of the birds appeared threatened by the encounter charged at the girl.

She can be seen fleeing in panic before stumbling and falling to the ground, losing one of her shoes on impact.

Upon seeing this, the geese with their wings outstretched suddenly stopped and calmly ambled away.

Ms Xiao said: 'My sister saw those geese pacing on the road and she was afraid that passing cars might hit them, so she wanted to move the ducks into the wheat field. But in the end, she fell down horribly when they chased her back.'

Geese are naturally territorial animals, especially when they perceive a threat to their space or flock. When approached suddenly or confronted with unfamiliar objects, they may react defensively by hissing, charging, or flapping their wings to scare off the perceived threat.
