I'd question whether a regular crow can grasp the concept of 'owning' a rod or really big stick... they do like small shiny objects that they can pick up with their beak, probably 1-15g.

Since it does not cast spells, the rod is of no use to it.</p>
<p>Wands and staves, might be OK, but the needed UMD could be an issue.</p>
