Ah yes, the "powder down", which came to light quite recently when a young owl crashed into someone's window, and left this mark:

I'd be surprised if you could get anyone to take crows off your hands; you might be stuck feeding these guys.

Crows, rooks, ravens, blackbirds, magpies, etc (all part of the corvidae family) are very intelligent, and are capable of problem-solving using tools. Interesting beasts to watch, but not as cute and as family-friendly as the budgies and cockatiels.

Some people do keep crows, rooks, and ravens as pets. Rare, though, as they do get to be quite large, plus they need to be hand-reared from birth really, in order to tame them properly - they can be aggressive and determined to escape.

Their ability to solve problems and craft tools is staggering
