I seem to remember that very few birds recognize themselves in a mirror. Crows and magpies do, but not other species. So they don't have self-awareness. Or is their self-awareness not related to sight? Maybe they would recognize themselves if they heard a recording of their own voice?

Of course self-awareness is not necessarily the same as consciousness.

Oops, I think I just muddied the issue even more
