The Cowbird never has its own nest - it uses the finch nest as its host (read: parasite.) The Cowbird egg will hatch first & will push the other eggs or baby finches out of the nest. Other species of birds will get rid of the Cowbird eggs, but finches don't seem to. I always remove them when found.
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.
