The same video was uploaded by TOI on their official YouTube channel on February 12, 2020.
According to the video content, it was taken at a riverfront in Ahmedabad.  The report also states that this phenomenon is called murmuration wherein birds fly in swooping, intricately coordinated patterns through the sky.
Moreover, the nationwide lockdown was announced on March 24, 2020. This proves that the above video had no relation with the COVID-19 lockdown.
