If you ever do get a pet crow, be sure to do something to indicate THIS IS NOT A WILD CROW. I think it was a great uncle or someone in my family who actually did raise a crow as a pet way back in the day, but someone thought his crow was just a regular wild crow..so they shot and killed it. From what I hear, pre-death, the crow was an awesome pet, if not a trouble maker. (Don't I have the most random family ever?)
