It's because he's too much of a jerk to kill the bird. In the inbred way of thinking it was a cool youtube video. A snake that big can't kill something that small (at least with what I've seen from large carpets and mice). Mind, nothing nice to be said. I have never seen a burm shoot down FT especially while in the feeding response. I will admit I have pushed stuff behind small items. However, most of the carpet keepers know how hard it is to get a mice fed carpet on rats. I'd feed a FT pink then a FT rat pink while in hunt mode or on occasion if it wouldn't take it at all I would shove the pink head in the mouth while the tail of the mouse pink was going down so the snake never knew it was 2. I don't recommend everyone do this!
