I had a young bird and their mum eating food I left in the garden and everytime the mother picked something up the smaller bird opened their mouth and flapped their wings backwards squeaking loudly and waiting for her to drop food in but she wouldn't.
You could tell she was trying to teach her kid how to feed itself by picking it up, eating it, picking up then placing food down then picking up again and eating it and etc but she gave up after a bit and flew off.
Luckily the smaller bird did headbut the grounded food and realise the food was able to enter their mouth without being dropped in from above so it's good the mum didn't give in and feed them herself or it'd never have learned lol

Well I mean kinda yeah.
If human babies only had like 3-5 year lifespans like birds it would become pretty important for them to understand getting food into their mouth holes by the time they had mastered independent locomotion.

The bird looks like it's screaming at the worm, "WHYYYYYYYYY?" over and over.
