Body Awareness in Goffin's Cockatoos
A Hacker News post details a recent study of Goffin's cockatoos that investigates the birds’ sense of their own bodies. Researchers observed the parrots performing tasks that required awareness of limb position and movement, suggesting a level of self‑monitoring. The findings are presented as relevant to fields like robotics and artificial intelligence, where understanding embodied cognition can inform design.
