Birds also recognize loss. When one of my birds died the others sat very still and only made very quiet noises for almost a week. This is very odd since these birds are so loud normally that I can hear them when I'm outside. Also they seem to be able to change "tricks". I taught one of them to wolf whistle and he started to make a whole little tune with the wolf whistle integrated into it.

Yeah, I was refering to the knowledge of self mortality.

As for the elephant thing, the program I watched showed that elephants would spend time with bones they found that belonged to one of their group, but would spend less time inspecting the bones of elephants from outside their group. It was as if they recognized who the bones belonged to.

That's actually quite cool!

Yeah, that is pretty interesting. I wonder if it has anything to do with the tusks?
