Best Answer

The link brings you to a YouTube video of a hawk kettle. It would have been better for the lens to be pulled back to a wider angle-- it would be a natural tendency for someone to want to 'zoom' in. But the interactions of the birds is clear. A guess would be that the swarming birds evoked an image of water boiling in a kettle.
