Yes, there have been recent updates about a crow that is reportedly talking like a parrot.
According to several news reports from the past few days (early April 2025), a crow in a village in the Palghar district of Maharashtra, India, has gained attention for its ability to mimic human speech.
Here's what the reports indicate:
* The crow can say Marathi words like "Papa," "Mummy," and "Baba," as well as phrases like "What are you doing?" and "Why did you come home?".
* The crow was rescued and nursed back to health about three years ago by a woman named Tanuja Mukne.
* The family claims they did not intentionally teach the crow to speak; it seemingly picked up the words on its own.
* Videos of the crow speaking have gone viral on social media, astonishing viewers.
* Some reports mention that the crow even seems to understand certain words and phrases and responds appropriately. For instance, it reportedly asks "What is your work?" when strangers approach and repeats family members' names.
While crows are known to be intelligent and capable of mimicking sounds, their ability to replicate human speech to this extent is considered rare. This particular crow has become a local sensation and sparked discussions about animal intelligence.
You can likely find videos of this talking crow by searching online news sites and social media platforms for "talking crow Maharashtra" or similar terms.
