you guys are so quiet lately. Has something changed ? Am I gonna have to start posting kaka pictures here or what ?

what gets me is someone actually thinks they need their trademark/name on here.

umm so it was black ?

If you put all the feathers from an indigo bunting in a blender and powdered them all up, they would look dark grey. The blender would destroy all the light reflecting structures on the feathers, so they would no longer be able to reflect blue light waves.

so why isnt every thing black look blue ? You screwing w/ me Melon ?

The sun shines down all the different colors, but they are mixed up, so it looks clear (or white) to us.

Light travels in waves and each color has its own different length of wave. Coming from the sun, the waves are all mixed together.

When light hits something, like a blue shirt, the blue pigments in the shirt act like both a mirror and a sponge. The blue pigment soaks up or absorbs all the wavelengths that are NOT blue, and like a mirror, reflects the blue wavelengths. The blue wavelengths bounce off the shirt and some go into our eyes, which is why we see the blue shirt. Since it soaked up all the other colors, we never see them.

Blue shirt, red apple... it's the same concept. Red absorbs all wavelengths and reflects red.

Blue bird feathers do not have pigment. To bounce the light into our eyes, they have special structures that only reflect a certain wavelength (blue) back to our eyes. If you destroy the structures so they can't reflect, we would see a dark grey bird.

The chick dont seem to be doing well. I did get one bite of egg down but it seems very weak. If it goes to its side or back it crys instead of fighting to get up.

How we see color is by light reflection. Say, a red pillow ABSORBS all the blue, green, yellow, etc. light, reflecting only the red light. Black and white absorb ALL or none of the light, so really, they aren't colors at all.

Well, blue is not common in the wild, only ONE land animal has figured out how to make a blue pigment. Birds create blue by bending light, they have special structures that scatter all other colors, and only allowing blue to be reflected. The feathers themselves, without the reflection, are black.

But why wasn't the red light absorbed as well?

Or sauté in some light olive oil, yummy

Because different color lights have different wavelengths, it allows different colors to be absorbed, and others to be reflected.
