Here's the explanation mentioned in the video in case anyone wants it:
In short, they were researchers that caught the bird to tag and release it. Sometimes birds are a little disorientated afterwards and need a minuet (or longer to recover). If they do need more time, moving them like that can apparently help them ground themselves so they feel safe to fly off.
next time I have a dissociative episode I want a biologist 100 times my size to pick me up and do a sensory grounding wobble for me
