This jutsu appears to be similar to the Water Clone Technique, with the exception that after the clone has been destroyed the body will disperse into a flock of crows, which can continue to speak and maintain a physical form. As it uses crows as a medium for the chakra, it requires less chakra then the Shadow Clone Technique, while it still is able to use techniques. The capabilities of the crow form is unknown. However, Itachi was able to cast his Sharingan genjutsu while in clone form, so it is likely no more limited than other such clone techniques.
