Crow Uses Credit Card at Japan Train Station, Video Goes Viral

A hilarious moment was caught on camera in Japan when a crow picked up a credit card in its beak. The bird did not end its humanly act there but went up to insert the card into a ticket vending machine at the train station. The crow then proceeds to press buttons on the machine using its beak. The clever crow picked up the card from a woman passenger who was using it. The video has gone viral with people laughing at the crow's peculiar act.

The video shows the crow picking the card, fluttering around for some moments before finally pressing the screen with its beak. Maybe the poor thing, tired of flying wanted a seat in the train. Well, we don't know what the bird exactly wanted, while it looked as if it was trying to get a ticket.

Some animals and birds are known for imitating humans, but a crow using a train ticket machine and doing the exactly the right thing is surprising. According to a report in Sora News 24 the incident happened at Kinshicho Station in Tokyo, Japan. The scene was recorded by a passenger who shared it on social media.

Watch the video here:

The woman whose card caught the crow's fancy can be seen standing in front of the machine letting the bird use it. While appears a little worried first, she eventually waits for the crow to finish. Reportedly, the crow returned the card after some time. This reminds us of the crow vending machine that dispenses peanuts when the birds insert a coin. Invented by Josh Klein it was to train wild crows to find lost coins in exchange for a snack.
