I know people are going to laugh at me about this but it always strikes me how these birds never look in the mirror so they actually have no idea what they look like.

they do see other birds of their species though as birds of certain feathers flock together....hmmm maybe that's WHY they flock together. #mirroring

Ah, but in fact birds are among the few species that *do* recognize themselves in a mirror.

We had a blue jay fly into our window today. He rested for a bit and we threw some sunflower seeds toward him and after awhile he flew off. Just had his head a little rattled

Ok but why is this bird specific? Like sharks don’t know what they look like either?
