I have only ever made crow enemies. you do not want crow enemies.
also, if you see a dead or dying crow in your driveway, don’t move it. don’t touch it. even if it’s blocking your car (idk, buy a new car instead?) maybe call animal control but by all means don’t present yourself near the dead crow - the crows will assume you killed it and will make your life hell. i was divebombed multiple times for many blocks from my house. i only gingerly moved the bird a few feet over to the grass so my wife could move the car and get to work. but crows remember. boy do they remember.
this only stopped when i moved to another city
They ALSO hold courts and occasionally kill other crows as a group. It's possible your interference in their capital punishment ritual is considered a high crime.
Warning: I researched this and can't find evidence that it's true, but crow funerals are actually a thing that happens, so my advice stands: do not interfere with crow rituals involving dead crows!
I first heard about this in a Gaiman story called 'A Parliament of Rooks'.
