TRUTH & Verification: The video is not recent but from 2018.
The video is from a supermarket in Carrollton, United States, and not from any supermarket in UAE. In the video, a swarm of birds had descended on a car park area in 2018. Sights of flocks of blackbirds are not uncommon.

Except that it’s Texas not Saudi Arabia, those birds are grackles not crows, and this has been happening regularly the past several years. https://t.co/b0MlPVwEmR
