I've never seen a crow use a crowbar.
Just sayin.

The crowbar was actually repurposed from its original design
Constantine John Phipps for a while had a medium-sized entourage of crows. Being passerine (perching) birds, he felt, as a gentleman, it was only polite to give them all somewhere to perch when they gathered to converse with (squawk at) him.

To this end, he created a sturdy iron bar, with some natty fittings at either extremity, should he wish to fix it to another inanimate object, on which several crows could perch simultaneously.

It is unfortunate that a sharp-minded ne'er-do-well realised that he could misappropriate this sturdy iron bar, and use the principle of moments to lever open doors and fastenings with larcenous intent.
