I had a crow when I was a boy but I was a little older than that kid. I was 11 years old when I caught it as a fledgling and raised it. When I rode my bike it would ride on the handlebars and sometimes just fly/hover over my head. This almost caused some people to run their cars into a ditch when they dove by. He was basically a free range pet. He would go off on his own and do crow things. If I headed out to ride my bike or whatever I would just yell for him and a few minutes later he would come flying in from the woods. He hung around for 4 years but by then I had lost interest and was into other things like girls, hunting, etc. I quit calling him when I was outside and eventually he just never appeared again. I guess we both grew up.
Each one grew tired of being a pet.
