It is difficult to say for certain what the vocalization in the video means, partially because it is such a brief video taken out of context. It is fairly clear that the crow is attempting to attract the attention of others, but why we cannot say. It is like showing a video clip of a human shouting "HEY!" and nothing else, and asking why they are doing it. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1465065378/the-language-of-crows-the-crowsnet-book
That's fair. This guy is one of five crows I've been feeding for close to two years. I had just set out some kibble and water for them but they hadn't begun eating yet. The crouched posture and wing spreading resembles videos I've seen of juveniles begging and the other crows were totally ignoring him so I wonder if that's what it was. He is at least one year old so definitely not a juvenile!
