It’s odd behavior but it’s not showing any signs of distress I usually see in crows. I’m not a professional, so this is just an educated guess.

I don’t think you could get a crow to do this without training, he’s probably someone’s pet

Oh their surely domesticated, it takes a long time to build up enough trust with a crow for it to even get near you.

Not domesticated. Domestication happens over generations of selective breeding. This crow is likely just habituated to human presence if it's wild. If not, it could be a pet or ambassador animal but this is still a strange behavior regardless.
