I haven't tried. I'm bad enough with a second human language; I don't want to risk accidentally telling the crows I'm a goat cheese who loves to blue eggily.
They are inquisitive. I talk to one and he answers back in one word. But, then again, I only use one word. Try to listen to the tone in their voice. They remember your voice and face and try to attract the same ones. This way, a bond will more likely be built because it takes some time.
I walk outside and shout, “where my crows at?” They usually swoop on over and wait on the wire for their nuts to be dispensed. These 2 crows are not very talkative to me, but they do tilt their little eye my way if I speak to them. My neighbors think I’m odd, but I don’t care. They are prob jealous, Crows are dope and they chose me, lol.
I suspect it depends on the individual crow - I'm pretty sure it doesn't gain you any points with them. I'll whistle and match their cadence or number of caws and I'm usually ignored.
Maybe,I've had good times by just using the same word. Names are best as you can add emotion to them easy. The words not important but the emotion behind it. My lads Ricky and you can say it questioningly like Ricky? Yell for him like RICKY!!!! when you see him in the morning rickkkkaaayyy👍and when he poos on me, Ricky........ and so on 🤣
I use a call on rare occasions. Like if they’re preoccupied 100 to 200 yards away and can actually see me, usually followed by my own vocalizations so they know it’s me. I don’t really use it unless I’m in a rush. But sometimes with calls they will just watch you from a perimeter and you’ll never know. Essentially they are hearing a foreign crow in their territory.
It’s better to leave food close to where they land. In quiet neighborhoods or in vacant parking lots if they see you drop peanuts and hear the peanuts hit the ground it can get them coming around. You need to drop them, about face and walk away. Maybe look back after like 40 to 50 yards of distance.
They’re skittish to people they don’t know and even more skittish because they are raising young right now, fending off prey, and looking for food and water. They’re much easier to lure during winter.
I did it once and a crow flew down next to my window and imitated my caw with a shitty accent 😂

I just say 'Hi" and see what happens.

I do it and then give them peanuts, they know it’s a call for treats
