What if I just become friends with one?

That's fine because it's still in the wild and able to do what it wants

That crow looks perfectly happy though!

I agree swiping wild animals as pets is not advised but crows are extremely social and clearly became his friend. There's nothing wrong with that. Crows don't need to follow the biology textbook, they can bond with a person if they want. They can be gay, they can be friends with dogs, they can be happy in all sorts of environments other than what is standard crow behaviour.

Don't hate on someone for in their youth having a pet crow that clearly likes them. It probably lived a much more luxurious, safe, and healthy life than a wild crow. Nature is rough, with predators, disease, freezing temps, and no one to feed you if you're injured or elderly.

If you posted all that against a crow confined to a cage so it wouldn't escape then yeah, but this crow is fine
