The cute bird in this video uses the "broken-wing act" to distract predators from its nest.
This involves the bird walking away from its nesting area, holding its wing in a position that simulates an injury and then flapping around on the ground emitting a distress call. The predators then think they have easy prey and are attracted to this seemingly injured bird and away from the nest.
If the parent sees that a potential predator is not following them, they will move closer and get louder until they get the attention of the predator.
The broken-wing display is particularly well known in nesting waders and plovers and doves such as the Mourning Dove.

Quran [24:41] :
"Do you not see that Allah is HE Whom do glorify all those who are in the heavens and in the earth, and the (very) birds with expanded wings ?. Each one knows its prayer and its glorification. And Allah is Knower of what they do."
