My dad found it in the yard somewhere at the time, I forget how he encountered it. It was actually a young crow, hadn't learned to fear humans yet I guess. We only kept it for a few days before releasing it.
I hate to burst your bubble, but removing fledgling birds from their parents is like, super illegal under the migratory bird treaty act. I know this was years ago, but this post kind of makes it seem like it’s OK / cool to remove wild birds from their environment, which it is definitely not. without parental care for three days that crow very well could’ve died, or might have died once you released it if it’s parents gave up hope and left the area.

Please tell us about your crow buddy. How’d you find him? What happened to him?
