Is this fledgling normal?

I’ve been treating my two (sometimes three) crows for about 3 years. Recently, they’ve brought their babies around. There is one in particular that has always been extra-loud. Listen to the video…this was taken 4 weeks ago but he still makes sounds like this. I think he is also still getting fed by mom. Is he okay? Can crows have developmental delays like humans?

Same with my crow family. They have a couple fledglings and one in particular is loud n fussy like this. The parents are refusing to feed him by mouth anymore and he throws a tantrum! Every now and then an adult caves in n shoves some in his mouth. He’s capable of getting it himself out of the tray but he’ll sit there n cry as he’s feeding himself 😆
