Among others, bird cognition encompasses abilities such asdelay of gratification,mental time travel,reasoning,metacognition,mirror self-recognition,theory of mind, and third-party intervention. Thecerebrumof birds and mammals is homologous but very differently organized. Birds lack aneocortexbut have instead several largepallial aggregationswithout apparent laminar structure.
