There was someone in the comments under that video that had a similar story and believed what they had witnessed was a sort of bird funeral
I love the connection that animals have with one another. A few weeks ago I made a post about a hawk in my yard that caught a squirrel. What amazed me most about this unpleasant scene was a blue bird that flew to the scene and started pecking at the hawks head and another squirrel was literally punching the hawk with its front paws, both seeming to try to rescue the victim.
Makes you wonder
I often wonder about humans in less than positive way sometimes too
A few years back, I came home from work, went to the basement to feed my fish and heard a faint squeak. I looked around and found a baby mouse on the ground, a few days old with its eyes not even open yet.
I called around and nobody would help. My friends and co-workers told me to throw it out the window of a moving car and one person told me to put it down the garbage disposal. I thought this sick and disturbing.
Despite what I read about baby mice survival, my wife and I were determined to help this baby mouse. We got some kitten formula and fed it with a paint brush. We fed it several times an hour around the clock for many weeks and it lived in its large home heated by a heating pad from underneath. I would have to sneak out of my office and drive 40 miles each way throughout the day and my wife would get up with me during the night talking turns to hand feed it. After a few months, it grew strong and went through all the phases that a baby mouse goes through. Henry the mouse lived 6 years and only died last November. We believe his love of fresh blueberries he received every day accounts for his long life. Becoming a mouse parent was not always fun but in the end it was worth it and we learned a lot and we could see him communicating in his mousey ways that he appreciated our help.
Anyway, there is much to be learned by interacting with animals beyond just our dogs and cats that we love
