PET CROW DOES IMPRESSIONS OF DOGS AND SPEAKS CHINESE,

Pet crow barks like a dog and can speak basic Chinese, owner says

Ma Baocheng, from Nanning, Guangxi Province, uses it to catch mice

Neighbours saw crow as bad omen and made Mr Ma give it up

 

Despite sounding like Frankenstein’s pet, this crafty crow is all bird – even though he can bark like a dog, catch mice like a cat and natter like a parrot.  The pet crow, who does not have a name, likes catching rodents on the farm where he lives and also manages basic Chinese.  According to owner Ma Baocheng, the crow can manage simple phrases and expressions in Chinese, like saying hello, and also barks like a dog.

 

Although Ma loves his pet crow very much, his neighbours have complained and see it as a bad omen.  A month ago, Ma had to resettle his pet crow in a friend's farm. He said: ‘The last time I visited him, he was like a spoiled kid in the beginning, staring at me coldly. ‘But in a short time, he flew onto my shoulder and we played together like good friends.’
