Corbin, my new baby crow, tries to figure out the air compressor for my air brush.
Corbin is a non-releasable American Crow with a case of the brain damage due to severe head trauma before I received him. I'm training him as an education bird (Hence the jesses and anklets he has on) for the wildlife center I work at, but he has fun wandering about the house with close supervision, wanting to help me make ears. Or to disassemble all my tools, take your pick.

I honestly don't recommend crows as pets for people, because of the amount of work and attention they require. They live a long time if you do things right (30-59 years) and they are noisy and too inteligent to be easily amused. They are also prone to self-harm if they're unhappy in captivity, to the point of suicide. It makes me sad ever time I see someone who's picked up a fledgeling crow because they think it'll be a cool pet, and when they realize how tough it is, they let it go. But kidnapped babies lack the skills to survive in the wild, and usually die within 6 weeks of release.
*Puts the soap box away* ^^; Sorry to go on a bit of a rant there. I'm just passionate on the subject.

Aww what a cutie!
I'd love to have a pet crow, but I doubt I'd ever be ready for one. I do enjoy visiting the wildlife center and seeing their crows.
We have a blind crow living on our street, and the other crows will bring it food and keep predators away from it. They will even steal food from kids and save some for the blind one. :3 It's hilarious to watch them play in the street.
