I don't know about that. Just because someone found
out the same thing about pigeons.... some "dirty" pigeon tried to clean
itself after seeing its reflection in a mirror.
That doesn't mean the bird realised it was looking
at itself. A lot of bathing behaviour in birds is by social facilitation, they
like to do it together. Beside it would take many repeats of an observation like
that, to be convincing.
