Same for Parrots, corvids and parrots are in the IQ level of dolphins and big simios. But there are also other animals with self awareness (mirror test), eg Elephants, Manta Rays, Octopus and even Ants. Many animals are much more intelligent than was thought a few years ago and self-awareness is surely present in most of them and also a minimum of intelligence, because they are an essential faculties for the will to survive.

Even bees are smart enough to recognize and difference a human face, jumping spiders can plan different strategies to hunt their prey
