Tanuja first stumbled across it in her garden three years ago.
The crow – then just a chick – was injured.
Mukne spent two weeks nursing it back to health, and it made a full recovery.
She and her family kept it and decided to raise it as a pet.
They were baffled about a month ago when it suddenly started talking, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Thanks to its human-like speech, the bird has since become the talk of the town in Palghar, north-north-east of Mumbai, India.
Curious locals have reportedly flocked to listen to the curious corvid.
Avian experts are reportedly baffled, as its ability to mimic human sounds is more typical of budgerigars.

The crow can reportedly say several words in the local lingo, Marathi.
One local said: “I would’ve freaked out.”
Sumedh joked: “A crow can learn to speak Marathi in three years, but a North Indian cannot even after decades.”
And Ashwin quipped: “When your dad’s a crow but mum’s a parrot.”
