What Birds See!

• Birds are attracted to different colors.


• The changing of the color of ambient light can trigger early breading and alter fertility rates in birds.


• Humans are trichromats and birds have photo-pigment. This means that birds can see up to two more wavelegnths than humans can.


• How birds see and percieve color can effect migration and how the birds interact socially and sexually.


• One of the greatest advantages of birds being able to use ultraviolet vision is their ability to spot left overs from prey. This can inculde urine and feces.
