INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Crows can recognize themselves in a mirror?

Unclear. A Wikipedia mirror-test article reports that Indian house crows passed the mirror test in 2019, and two popular books assert crows can recognize themselves in mirrors. A dataset on mirror responses in house crows is relevant but its snippet gives no crow result, so the evidence covers only one corvid species and rests largely on popular sources.
