Zoologists discover a bird that is recognized in the mirror. Goethe University experts conducted an experiment with a mica in Frankfurt. They have glued a colorful paper on his feathers and placed it in front of a mirror. Mika, seeing herself, realizes the papelito and removes it. This simple action means that the bird is able to identify itself. Until now it was thought that only some mammals have this capacity, but this experiment has shown that it is not so.
