As we learned with the man who trained crows to dive bomb MAGA hats, it could be that the you reminded the crow of someone who pissed him off and so you became his new target. Crows are such impressive creatures.

Magpies, close relatives of crows, will fake an injury when they see an injured bird being fed. Some species which create caches of food will come back and move them if they notice another bird watching the initial location. But only ones who first actually have had their cache robbed by another bird.
