Birds stood on a small mat while trying to move an attached object, with conditions in which body weight did or did not block success.<\/p>\n

They selected stepping off when their bodies were the real obstacle, adapting a body-as-obstacle test used with dogs and Asian elephants.<\/p>\n

Different from a mirror<\/h2>\n

The species failed mirror self-recognition criteria yet solved this task, suggesting self-processing can contain distinct components.<\/p>\n

Could it be simple learning<\/h2>\n

Control conditions reduced responses to the rope or mat alone, but sample and captive setting limit generalisation to all wild birds.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/h2>\n

Tool use may require treating body position as part of the environment. The result adds a comparison point for avian cognition.<\/p>\n

Next check<\/h2>\n

Other birds, devices and replications must test the pattern. Neural mechanisms and human-like self-consciousness remain unknown.<\/p>\n
