The testing of intelligence in birds is therefore usually based on studying responses to sensory stimuli. The corvids ( ravens , crows , jays , magpies , etc.) and psittacines ( parrots , macaws , and cockatoos ) are often considered the most intelligent birds, and are among the most intelligent animals in general.

Corvids display remarkable intelligence for animals of their size, and are among the most intelligent birds thus far studied. [5] Specifically, members of the family have demonstrated self-awareness in mirror tests ( Eurasian magpies ) and tool-making ability (e.g. crows and rooks [ 6 ] ), skills which until recently were thought to be ...
Magpies are birds of various species of the family Corvidae.Like other members of their family, they are widely considered to be intelligent creatures. The Eurasian magpie, for instance, is thought to rank among the world's most intelligent creatures, [1] [2] and is one of the few nonmammalian species able to recognize itself in a mirror test. [3]

The birds were tested on their ability to distinguish benign from malignant human breast histopathology images and could even apply what they had learned to previously unseen images. However, when faced with a more challenging task, they reverted to image memorisation and thus showed little generalisation to novel examples.
