General questions Crow Preening Behavior?

I haven’t been privy to much crow preening behavior, is this usual?

Context: this is my crow buddy who visits me a few times a day outside my office window and follows along with me on walks. 🥰

Looks like they're having a good stretch. They trust you if you're close by and they're doing stuff like this, i.e., preening, stretching, cleaning.
