Mangalya Munke recalled the day when his wife, Tanju, discovered the injured baby crow beneath a tree and brought it home. Over the past three years, the crow has become an integral part of the family, with the children feeding and playing with it.

00:00A crow rescued by a villager in India three years ago has gone viral for its
00:05impressive ability to talk. Footage shows the bird wandering the village, greeting
00:10locals, and chatting with the family that raised it. Mangalya Monke says his wife
00:15found the injured baby crow under a tree, and since then it's become like a
00:19family member, fed and played with by their children.
00:30Having grown up around humans, the crow now mimics phrases such as, what are you
00:37doing and why did you come home? As clips of the bird spread online, curious
00:42visitors began arriving from nearby villages trying to strike up
00:45conversations. The crow even asks strangers, what is your work, and calls
00:50family members by name. Though it flies with wild crows during the day, it always
00:54returns home before sunset.
