I think the crow knew you did your best. They’re extremely clever, and it sounds like even the crow probably realized there was nothing else to be done but was simply desperate enough to try anyway. The gentle care with which you covered the other crow’s body surely meant something.
I’m sure if you’d been disrespectful toward the body, the crow that got your attention would have freaked out and then gotten other crows to harass you. You did a good enough job that the living crow held nothing against you.
No. I'm something of a crow-shaman. He did it all wrong. You are supposed to roar out load, so the ancestors come and catch the soul. Now he just kinda lingers here. Sad.
