AB - I examine the production of scientific research on animal consciousness of reptiles and argue that the anthropomorphism is unavoidable in the study of animal consciousness. And I explain Carruthers' theory of phenomenal consciousness and examine from his point of view which animal can have phenomenal consciousness. He states that phenomenal consciousness is not first-order but higher-order, not nonconceptual introspective experience but conceptual thought, and not realistic but dispositional thought. He does not admit of phenomenal consciousness to nonhuman animals. There is no scientific production that shows reptiles have conceptual higher-order thoughts. But there is some research production that shows birds have them. I argue Carruthers' views are not valid for at least some birds like parrots.
