Bonnie There are Sinaloa (Mexican) Crows in the Lower Valley of Texas. I have photographed them at the Brownsville Dump. DNR or Fish and Wildlife should be able to tell you if it is illegal to raise a crow. They are considered nuisance animals in many states and are allowed to be killed with out a permit because of there destruction to agriculture. They do make great pets.

Is this illegal? The fellow is in Texas. Do they have other species there besides fish and american? Bonnie Ott
