other members of the Corvidae family of birds. Corvids display remarkable intelligence for animals of their size and are among the most intelligent birds thus far studied.[4] Specifically, members of the family have demonstrated self-awareness in mirror tests (European magpies) and tool-making ability (e.g. crows and rooks[5]), skills which until recently were thought to be possessed only by humans and a few other higher mammals. Their total brain-to-body mass ratio is equal to that of non-human great apes and cetaceans, and only slightly lower than that of humans.[6]
