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.

it's a beautiful idea. we do suffer from a hyper-profusion of mirrors. the internet is glorious and will help save us, but kids should not have smart phones and social media accounts.

Yeah...but they DO look at potential mates and others if they flock together... lol they know what they look like

Don't they see other birds and then realize they're similar looking?

The first animal to ever ask an existential question was Alex the parrot. He looked in the mirror and asked "What color am I?"

Surely they see themselves in waters' reflection when drinking from a puddle or birdbath or something?
