Very cool story!!!  It will be interesting to see if after it does fly off to find a mate if it will return to visit and bring its mate along.  

I remember that happening with a crow that we raised and had for a pet one summer when I was a kid.  It was an entertaining pet that followed us around and even sounded at times like it was trying to talk to us. He walked with a limp so we named him Chester, after the character on the old popular TV show, Gunsmoke, that was the Marshall's sidekick/deputy that walked with a limp.  In the fall Chester the crow flew off with a flock of crows heading south.  The next few summers there was a pair of crows that would come unusually close to the house and hang around unlike most other crows.  I always believed it was Chester bringing his mate back to try to introduce her to his human benefactors.  They never let us get close enough to touch, but would stick around in the yard for awhile before flying off.  Any other crows would fly away as soon as  we came outside while this pair would stay on the ground hopping around.
