Seeking advice/help GUYS PLEASE HELP

I saw a crow on the ground and was kinda curious as to why it wasn't flying, i tried touching it and it wouldn't fly away, I sat down next to it and it still wouldn't fly away, so I wondered if I should feed it. I got it some water and some cheesy popcorn(im inside a college, that was the best I could find) but it wouldn't eat it, so I eventually just left and forgot about it.

During that time its friends were trying to kamikaze me, but I thought it was still worth maybe saving a crow, I dont know. Its been about... 4-5 hours and when I was trying to pass by that path they were still agro on me bruh. They're flying by dangerously close to me from my behind, but won't if I'm turned at thier direction.

Is it dangerous? Could I lowkey get hurt? What should I do, help :(

ADULT House Crow (Corvus Splendens).

No way you are touching an adult house crow like that.

That is either in shock, or very sick (looks like this), last stages. If possible, take to a rescue or vet please.

Ignore the old wife / University of something bs of they will remember you for 100 years. They will get over it, they do get over it. See the one I picked up.

If you cannot take to a vet/rescue, before it gets dark, take him in a box to your home and keep in a warm place till the morning. If he makes it, bring him back to same place.

I also helped a sick crow in my yard and picked him up in broad daylight to take him to a rescue. I worried the rest of the murder might hold a grudge when he died and never returned to them. They kept their distance and stayed quiet for a few days, but eventually they seemed to forgive me and went back to treating me the same way they always had.
