According to a study out this week, apparently birds called "jackdaws" that are closely ralated to crows and ravens are self-conscious critters - not only aware they are being watched by humans, but aware if that person is a stranger or not and even paying attention to their gestures as cues of direction!
This raises all sorts of questions fr sure, an I'f think particularly for considering animals in the zoos, where the are gazed at constantly by humans.
