I'll try to answer everybody. First off, thank you for the compliments on Gandalf. We are working on mimicking speech, and corvids actually mimic human speech better than parrots. There are stories floating around about corvids calling the wife in the husband's voice or the other way around, and the spouse not realizing it was the bird.
Gandalf lives in quite a large indoor enclosure. It's six feet long, four feet wide, and just under five feet tall. This is what is considered to be the absolute minimum size requirement for a crow. They don't use their beak to climb, so they actually need flight space to get around. He also has an outdoor flight area that's large enough for falconry training. I believe it's sixty by fourth by twenty, but I've never officially measured.
His diet is much like a parrot's with a few differences. While he gets grains, fresh fruit and vegetables daily, he also gets the addition of high quality red meat and a pellet called RC 20. Protein never exceeds 20% of his diet. He also takes a few different supplements daily. Because of their extremely fast metabolism, Gandalf needs extra calcium, vitamins, and minerals. I also give him, as well as the rest of my birds Diatomaceous Earth.
Gandalf loves toys, but many parrot toys are considered unsafe for corvids. Most of his toys resemble a kindergartener's toys, or toys for a dog trained in detection.
Gandalf is an African pied crow. They all have the white vest like this. Their eyes are supposed to turn brown, but his haven't yet. I'm hoping they will stay blue, but I am not counting on it. Also, the feathers that flip up on his nose are a recessive mutation. They aren't supposed to do that, but his do. His breeder said he's never seen that before. It makes him look rather goofy if you ask me, but I still love him anyway. I just have a hard time taking him seriously when he throws a temper tantrum.
I like his name too! You should teach him to say "you shall not pass!" 
It would look super cute if you could find a tiny pair of old-fashioned glasses and a top-hat for him to wear with his little mustache! Especially if he's involved in shows
