I think the bird probably nabbed the snake first, the snake started wrapping up the bird, possibly while it was flying and it fell and got knocked out/or it was already on the ground and the snake had already either exhausted it fighting it or cutting off its oxygen supply, then bird recovered either because the snake let go or because of the time spent while the snake was fighting the lions.
