A police officer got more than he bargained for during a traffic stop as he ended up in a stand-off with a turkey.

Cobb County Police Department was called to an incident near Smyrna, Georgia, after reports of a turkey blocking traffic.

The bird, identified as Henry, was "less than cooperative and definitely not friendly" with the officer trying to help move him along, police said.

"If you need a laugh today, this video will do it... The interaction is hilarious and had the officers on scene laughing," the department added.
