Be careful with the ",,, the majority of other animals that do not.". The Mirror Test is accepted as proof of self-awareness, but it's no longer accepted as proof of LACK of self-awareness.
General article:

There was also a study last year, can't find the link right now, that suggested that cats, like elephants, fail the mirror test because they just don't care. And that any animal whose primary sense is smell rather than vision, such as dogs, fails because they wouldn't identify themselves by their looks, but by their scent.
Would a human in a test recognise and be able to pick out which sweaty cloth was THEIR sweat, and consider that the cloth represented an "image" of themselves?

Oh pidgeons know for sure how to be annoying. In 2009 iirc, I went to Padua with my theater class, I slept on a bunk bed, on the upper part, so that I was able to see through a window. Next morning I was awoken by weird sounds, so I opened my eyes...
...and found two pidegeons flirting like crazy on the railing. Little cuties had decided to flirt at that hour and in front of me.
I was walking in the square in the city, lots of pigeons around picking up food from the ground and they were very used to people so I was literally inches away and they didn't fly away.. except one did, took to the air, and gave me a hard slap across the face with it's wings in the process.. so rude.. lol
....and artists:
Are those Crows, or Rooks? Rooks are famous for mass formation flight. Mated pairs stay together when flying in formation, a considerable feat of skill.
Crows and Rooks are also capable of cooperative problem solving, in tests where both birds of a pair must act to secure a reward. Rooks, which are very sociable, excel at cooperation and sharing.
Well, that's my generator connected up. Which means I have probably single-handedly ensured that Cebu will never again have a power outage.
Do not know, but are assumed to be an independent organization, they act as the government of the day, based on Decree Law. it dependent on the outside interests to citizen suits them at the time. Isn't it how it works?
The authors are still paid for the same as their representatives and official organisms takes most of the benefits from this supposed protection.
Crows in Alabama...Supposedly, they're mass formating just before weather changes or temperature drops.
They are blocked for me now, too, I suppose they want to redirect people to official Academy accounts whenever they upload the videos. I'm very sorry.
The first was the live performance of "Glory" from Selma, the second is Lady Gaga doing a fantastic medley from The Sound of Music (for the 50th anniversary of the movie).
Thug life!
Now I remember, when I was at middle school I was running and accidentally trampled on a pigeon, on its tail precisely. Everyone from that group flew away when they saw me coming but not that thug, and in fact found himself with its tail under my shoe. Sorry, I guess now it was the same pigeon in Padua, it followed me, and got its revenge after a couple of years. Best served cold.
And they know it.
