I think that you are referring to the fact that many animals can't cope / process their own reflection in the mirror and fail to identify themselves, as discussed here and there in more detail.
My budgie is BFFs with his reflection, as you'd expect. He loves me, but shows no reaction to my reflection. He is usually happy enough to make friends with other people, and he can tell me apart from others.
But he never shows any reaction to my reflection, only his own. If we both stand by the mirror, he'll tell his mirror friend about his day, he'll tell my actual hand or nose, but it's like he can't even see the reflection of my hand. It's weird.

long time cat owner. None of mine ever look at the screen.
Mine definitely does, for instance when I look a documentary with other animals, so 🤷♀️
