In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 232, verse 4.
A crow going to and fro at the door brings back someone who is away. If it drops red or burnt things in the house, it warns of fire.
Simple meaning: A crow going to and fro at the door tells that someone away will return. Red or burnt things tell of fire.
न्यसेद्रक्तं पुरस्ताच्च निवेदयति बन्धनम् ।
A crow dropping a red thing in front warns of prison. A yellow thing, gold or silver leads on.
यच्चैवोपनयेद्द्रव्यं तस्य लब्धिं विनिर्दिशेत् ।
What the crow brings shows gain. What it takes away shows loss.
पुरतो धनलब्धिः स्यादाममांसस्य च्छर्दने ।
A crow spitting raw meat shows wealth. Throwing clay shows land. Offering a gem shows a kingdom.
