Questions were raised about a man in Singapore who appeared to have the ability to communicate with a crow.

A video posted online on Aug. 23 showed him casually crossing a road junction and beckoning a crow to follow him.

To the amazement of the internet, the bird actually seemed to understand.

Crow whisperer

The video was taken from a vehicle that had stopped at the junction to wait out the red light.

The "crow man", as the internet came to know him, was seen making his way across the road.

A crow suddenly flew down and landed by his side.

Without missing a beat, the guy used his hand to signal the animal to follow him off the road.

The crow complied.

The video then cut to the man on the other side of the road ascending some stairs, this time with his feathered friend perched on his shoulder.
