USA Today reports:

TOKYO (AP) … A flock of [crows] dressed in soccer jerseys showed off their dribbling and shooting skills at a Japanese zoo as football fever gripped the nation.
The four young carrion crows at Tokuyama Zoo in western Japan used their beaks to dribble a miniature ball toward a soccer goal, sometimes tackling each other for possession before scoring, according to head zookeeper Satoru Tanaka.
The crows get tidbits every time they score, Tanaka said.
“We tried to coach owls and falcons as well, but the crows were the best. They’re such intelligent creatures,” he said.
