I'm thinking of going out and catching a crow,
How would I go about taming it and feeding it the first couple weeks?

Better catch a young one fallen of his nest.
My dad had an adult when he was young, and he cut the end of the wing so the crow can't fly and stayed in the house. But as soon as the wing grew back, the crow flew away.
Don't know what it eats though, worms should be good.

although crows are quite familiar with humans and not afraid of us as other birds, that doesn't necessarily mean they're good as pets.

they are pretty social birds, therefore you should get yourself two (like you do with parrots for example) and clip their wings.
still, domesticating them would still be tough sind they're smart birds and will flee/fly away as soon as they have the possibility.


why dont you get yourself a cat?

Crows are a pain in the ass. The post here about getting one that is young is correct, then the crow will identify you as its family. The part that is a pain in the ass is when the crow thinks of you as its family, everyone else is an outsider and will get attacked... actually crows are freaking awesome.

Truth. I had a crow this way (neihbor killed parents while it was feeding it's fledgeling). It still somewhat imprinted on me, as in it wouldn't let me get too close or even touch it, but it would still hang around to follow you, roost at our house, and caw at me for food, at 5AM IN THE FUCKING MORNING. That eventually stopped, but hung around for about a year, coming back less and less until he just never came back one day.

Just sayin', a swarm of crows all screaming "NEVERMORE" would be pretty fucking fuckwin.

catching a wild bird would just be retarded, OP

it would stress it out like hell and it would hate you, not to mention all the bacteria and diseases it could have

You can get mynah birds as pets, they are somewhat similar.

but if you insist on catching one, get a baby. adults will hate you for taking them out of their home and locked up in strange surroundings.

as for what they eat, like another anon said, everything.
I've seen crow pecking and drinking out of a chocolate shake carton, crazy things.
but, for their proper diet, I wouldn't have a clue.

Crows are carrion eaters and scavangers mostly. They'll have a ranged diet ranging from frest/rotting meat, small rodents, and vegetation. Scarecrows are propped up in farm fields after all. Their adaption to humanity has allowed em to eat also just about all human foods, following the way of the Seagull. But for a healthy Crow/Raven... You'd want to go with the first few things.

OP you shouldn't try to catch a crow. Not only that it would be a pain in the ass but please remember you're trying to coop up a wild bird. Bird's don't have wings so they can be clipped.

Would a common raven behave differently if caught as a chick?

they're going to fucking peck your eyes out dumbass.

Most likely no since it imprinted on the mother already. You'd need an egg. Now here's the hard part, keeping it alive long enough for it to reach an age where it isn't sitting on it's ass depending on you to stay alive.

crows are cool!
i remember being a kid, myself and my friends were messing around outside my house and a crow landed on the wall and just 'hung out' with us for a while!
we were literally picking it up and petting it!!
we assumed it was hurt or something so it cudnt fly away, but then out of nowhere, it just spread it's wing and flew off!!! baffling!!!
theyre without doubt the most intelligent of all the birds
they will eat ANYTHING!! hence their omnipresence!!
and ive heard they stick around with "people" they grew up with(pack mentality like dogs

and lastly, a group of crows is called a 'murder of crows'!!! ... HOW COOL IS THAT!!!
so ya, crows rule!!!

Look on wikipedia: there's a site linked in external links that talks about keeping ravens for pets.

Even raised from young birds, crows/ravens dislike new things and people, making them difficult pets. Ravens are also quite large, and will either need a room dedicated to them or an outdoor habitat. A parrot cage is cruel.
