Hello-
It is illegal in most states to have a crow or raven in your possession. Period. Any pets found will be confiscated and destoyed immediately. However, in most places you can shoot crows as vermin year round. Go figure. Corvid advocates are always looking for new members...
You can purchase African Pied Crows (Like the Windex comercial) and White Neck (Necked?) Ravens that are imported from Africa and captive bred here in the states.

The A P Crows start around eight hundred.
W N Ravens are more and have wingspans of around four feet so are not commonly kept.

Good Luck.
