Some birds in cages attack mirrors or kiss mirrors and talk to them cos
they think that its another bird that is there, they dont kno that its
themselves in a mirror, dont fish react the same to a mirror, cos they
dont reconise themselves but think that its another fish and theyve
either got to attack it or mate with it or talk to it?
