It was an electric shortcut
The birds where standing on an electric cable, you can see the posts in the video, the flock because it was tightly packaged while standing on the cables it made them touch and that electrocuted a lot of birds it seems

You can see where the bulk of the dead birds fall in line with the wire, and get more sparse as they're distributed outward. Then, a few of them are merely stunned, and get up to fly away.
