No. What you are probably seeing is the male wren building several nests at the same time in hopes of pleasing his very finicky mate.

What is the Cactus Wren known for?
I'm assuming that you are asking for notable facts about the Cactus Wren. The Cactus Wren is a small bird that lives in the southwestern United States and Mexico. Its scientific name is Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus, which means "bent bill with a brown cap." It is the largest U. S. wren and the state bird of Arizona. It lives in desert regions and like all wrens eats mostly insects with the occasional seed or fruit. As its name suggests, it often makes its nests in the left-over nests in saguaro cacti made by Gila Woodpecker. I'm assuming that you are asking for notable facts about the Cactus Wren.

What bird or birds use a female Carolina Wren as a surrogate mother for their eggs?
Brown-headed Cowbird
You saw a wren feed a baby crow repeatedly is surrogate parent behavior unusual?
What you saw was more likely a wren feeding a Brown-headed cowbird. Cowbirds are dark in color like crows but as adults are more blackbird-like in size. Cowbirds often lay their eggs in the nests of songbirds and allow them to hatch and raise the cowbird fledglings. This is a behavior known as brood parasitism and is normal for cowbirds. A cowbird fledgling oftentimes grows to become larger than the host parent that is raising it.
