WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- A New Zealand man shared video of two quails being "deeply confused" when confronted by their own mirror reflections.
The video, posted to YouTube by bird enthusiast Ross Heywood, shows two California quails on his property approaching a mirror and investigating what they appear to believe are a second pair of birds inside the glass.
The quails stare into the glass, peck at their reflections and attempt to go around the mirror to find the birds on the other side.
Heywood said the "lovely" quail appear to "think they have new friends in the mirror."
