All birds can see colors.

I know ALL of my roos wanted to woo my Mille Fleur d'Uccle..... maybe it was just the pattern... but they also seem to flock together based on color to some extent.


The first response makes me say DER... LOL Yeah, it is why they have so many colors in the wild birds... why males are flashy to attract a mate

Yes, not only do they see color... but they also rely on it, I would say

No doubt that they can see red very well. They have a strong urge to peck at anything red.

They do see differences in colors.

I agree!! If I carry anything red they come running!!! There feeders are red, so I am guessing that's why!!

yeah and they LOVED my tomatoes (green or red) but didnt touch any yellow veggies, and they will not touch carrots..cooked or raw.... but if its red, they are on it!!!

Oh, and I have a few that really like purple....I have neon purple hair and there are 3 of my girls that fly on my shoulder and brush my hair with their beaks, lol and they chase a purple ball around the back yard

They must at least see all the shades of colors. White to gray to black at least. I know the white birds and light colored birds will stick together and the darker ones will stick together.

They also know the different kind and breeds around them.

Hey tiff, Try yellow pear tomatoes, my chickens went nuts for them over the cherry or grape tomatoes last summer. I don't eat them myself but grow them for the hubby and chickens. Needless to say poor hubby never got any last summer the chickens ate them all.

Thanks again.
