Hard to say about SORA but the video you shared is most definitely worse than Veo.
The Pelican is doing some weird flying motion, motion blur is hiding a lack of detail, cycle is moving fast so background is blurred etc. I would even say SORA is better because I like the slow-motion and detail but it did do something very non physical.
Veo is clearly the best in this example. It has high detail but also feels the most physically grounded among the examples.
The prompt asks that it flaps its wings. So it's actually really impressive how closely it adheres (including the rest of the little details in the prompt, like the scarf). Definitely the best of the three, in my opinion.
