TIL crows, starlings and similar birds only *look* black to us — they’re actually very colorful in ways human eyes are unable to perceive. 🤯
Remember that next time people can’t see your “colors”.
Some colors just require different eyes.

@leaverou Having quad color vision would be so cool.
@leaverou
Interesting. But the diagrams show different wavelengths for human and bird vision - surely the wavelengths reflected will be the same? And why is pink visible left of the blue peak in the human vision diagram when according to the bracket in the middle, this pink is outside the human vision scope? ANd hwat about the green, yellow and red bits in the human vision diagram - why doesn't the human see those colours in the starling? What am I missing?
@leaverou I think with starlings it's pretty obvious that there's more going on than just black, I've noticed the darkish brilliant colours every once in a while.
