Similarities can also arise from common selection pressure
When cognition converges, do brains also
converge?
Or can similar cognitive processes be generated
in different kinds of brains?

The forebrain of birds and mammals is homologue. But mammals developed a cortical lamination (or reptiles have lost their lamination
secondarily).

Connectome of the human cortex
A connectome is a map of neural connections of the whole brain or a part of it that enables to analyze the organization of neural interactions using
graph theory. Network analyses of connectomes can help to identify abstract properties of networks and the investigation of similarities and
differences between brains of different species.

Modules are parts of a network with many connections to a small number of neighbors and usually one or two nodes that connect the module to the remaining nodes of the network.
Hubs are nodes that have more connections than other nodes and represent shortest paths from one network side to the other. As such, hubs likely play a significant role in mediating the flow of information around the network. Hubs
are the structural core of a network.

Birds and mammals (with the exception of humans) display similar levels of high cognitive abilities, incl. self recognition.
Since both mammals and birds reach similar levels of cognitive capabilities with comparable brain/body-weight ratios, a laminated neocortex is no prerequisite for high cognitive functions.
The ‚Prefrontal Cortex‘ of mammals and birds is, as a field, not homologous to each other, but is functionally highly similar. Thus, there are only limited degrees of freedom for the realization of executive functions.
The connectomes of humans and pigeons are modular organized „small worlds“ with hubs and a structural core that are similar to those found in humans, monkeys, and cats. Despite the absence of cortical layers, the avian brain conforms to the same organizational principles as the mammalian brain on a deeper, network-topological level.
