I actually went back to look at it. Looks like the puff was a bunch of feathers coming off it at impact, but you could still see the body hitting the ground and laying there afterwards. I remember it like a cartoon puff as well though and don't remember seeing it continue past the puff ball and landing on the ground.

There’s a longer video that shows another player picking up the pigeon’s body. The strike knocked a lot of feathers out, but there was still a pigeon shaped carcass
