Social media users were quick to react. One user commented, 'Available on Sunday?? We have a match, need a striker with good heading ability.'
Another user wrote, 'He must be someone from your family who loved football and came back as a crow… that's what my mom said.'
A third user said, 'That boy is very gentle with his friend.' A fourth Instagram user wrote, 'Football is in the air of Goa.'
One Instagram user commented, 'Crownaldhino, cownesta, crowdini, crowdoski, crowmuller'
This isn't the first time a crow has gone viral for its unusual abilities. In Maharashtra's Palghar district, another crow has made waves on social media for its human-like speech.
According to a report by India Today, a 15-day-old injured crow was discovered under a tree by Mangalya Munke, who took it home. The crow soon became part of the family, bonding with the children and roaming freely around the house. Over time, the bird began mimicking human speech, uttering words like 'Aai' (mother), 'Baba' (father), and even phrases like 'What are you doing?' and 'Why did you come home?'
