Other bird species that fail to recognize themselves in the mirror can be pretty amusing. I'm looking at you cockatiels and budgies.
See the related videos on youtube for some of the birds that didn't make the grade in the same study.
My parrots will glance at themselves in the mirror. They seem to acknowledge what they see, but they just don't give a shit. Shredding my sketchbooks is much more interesting.
You have not lived until you have seen an entire flock of canadian geese go to war with their own reflections through a one-way mirror.
Most cats and dogs don't seem to give a shit about mirrors once they look behind one and figure out what they are. I guess that's the gap between dumb and smart
:D

Shandrine, how I have mished you.
When a magpie sees itself in the mirror, does it say "good day to you, General"? And if it doesn't, does it have bad luck for the rest of the day?
