Does Crow perks need to be rework into aura reading or buffed?

I think Spies from the Shadow's and Calm Spirit needs buffs, as well as buffing a outdated mechanics which is Crows.

Spies from the Shadow has a couple of problems related to not knowing where crows generally will spawn at, as well as not so easy at timed to trigger this perk in such close proximity of the killer but when in chase it sometimes does not trigger at all. And some other times, and when it does it trigger; it either... Scenario A: It helps you track down a sneaky Iron Will/Off the Record survivors whom is changing direction and alert the killer to their position; or other times, it gives you misleading information on where the Survivors over where they are actually are located.

For example: I used Spies from the shadow and I got to play the Game map; the crows were on the top floor and the survivors running on the bottom floor somehow triggers the crows from the too floor by running below them. Then the crows misleads me, into thinking that the Survivors are really upstairs when actually are downstairs.

I think Spies from the shadow need a solid detection range increase, as well as maybe apply aura reading to the survivor whom trigger the Crow; for 3 seconds with maybe a slight increased to cooldown. If it was up to me; I think Spies should detect survivor within 64 meters; will reveal survivor whom disturb the crows for 3 seconds, and it goes on a lengthy 30/40 seconds duration before it can be used again.

With the buff to Spies from the Shadow; survivor will be mindful of crows, and even will be more likely to run Calm Spirit with its passively No Crows spook benefits; which will be the perfect counter to Spies. It would help promote immersive survivor gameplay when next to crows.

    Honestly I'm kind of shocked that we havent gotten any new crow perks. Calm Spirit and Spies are the only ones, and they are -base game-.

    Like we literally got a crow-themed Killer and none of the perks that came with her have anything to do with crows.
