Could be a territorial thing too. Tortoises can be a little temperamental with other animals that eat it’s food.

So this guy hears a knock at his door, opens it and sees this snail looking up at him. The guy flicks it off into the bushes and goes sits down. Four months later he hears this knock at his door, opens it and here’s this snail again, the snail looks up at him and says “What the heck was that all about?”

The bird was smart enough to know this was not one of those
‘nice’ turtles, but he was too dumb to walk away.
The Bird had all the time in the world to get away.

Maybe he was teasing the turtle.
“Ha Ha, you can’t catch me, ya big Slow Poke!”

Mitch McConnell pointed to the video and said;
“In essence, that Turtle was me going after the Senate!”

I had to let the idea ‘bake’ for a minute.

I would suggest the bird was already dead or wounded when the tortoise arrived on the scene.
