The police have an accident with their police car and think the police car is broken down, but then they realize that Crow is imitating a police siren.
Thames Valley Police traffic officers were perplexed when they heard cars’ warning horns blaring randomly.
They discovered the real culprit was a cheeky crow that had built a nest in a tree above a police station in Bicester, Oxon, and was imitating the sound of sirens.
The unit photographed the crow and posted the amazing footage on its Facebook page.

They said: “Before you read on…this is 100% real and not some late April Fool’s joke!”
“Officers at Roads Policing Base in Bicester are a bit confused this week after learning that one of their resident crows has learned to imitate the sound of a police siren!!
“It was so accurate that they thought the car’s siren was malfunctioning.
“From workshops testing two-tone tunes to police officers on duty, this little guy has patiently observed and recreated noise.”

Social media users were quick to voice their opinions on the cheeky crow.
One Facebook user said: “Give him a nickname, he deserves a bird.”
Another joked: “Obviously part of the flying squad.”
One user quipped: “New employee to Vistar’s special department.”
Others debated whether it was a crow or a blackbird.
one user said: “I think it’s a blackbird. I had one at work that imitated the background sound of a truck.”
