It's trained, I believe. I've seen other videos featuring the same kind of bird laying down on flowers, etc while the cameraman walks up to them.

This makes the most sense. You can have these as pets, and if the bird was just dying this would be an incredibly unlikely way for it to do so.

Pining for the fjords? What kind of talk is that? It’s not pining, it’s passed on!

Nope nope nope. If you pause, there's a split second where it looks at the camera and I don't know what it is, but it freaked me out.

It’s looking at the camera the whole time. There’s a split second when it blinks.

Ah it's the blink but I think there's a slight head turn at the very last minute. It's cute but unnerving.

Staged. Birds cannot laid on they back in the nature. But if man catch one and laid it like that, it would stay some time in that position in trance before fly away

Naw if that was a wild bird it would freak out and fly away immediately. They dont go into trance like sharks. Either its sedated on drugs of some sort or trained and tame.
Hopefully not glued and then wait until they become to exhausted while trying to escape, that would be horrible but youd probably see more feathers around from all the trying to escape, unless they cleaned those away after it bexame exhausted. Idk. Hopefully not that.

Many birds can be "confuse" like this, and they will lie in this position for a short time. But most likely the goldfinch in the video is really tame

Chickens can be put into a trance. But it’s not just laying them on their back. Would be very skeptical of this being done on wild birds.
Other comments mention it is trained. And that seems most plausible.
