Vibrant wattles, brilliantly colored plumage, and large beaks and crests are other ways birds can communicate and\n\nshow off and many birds can see in color like us and kestrels can see in ultraviolet, due to UV signals given off by urinating rodents.\n\nMany birds like the hooded pitohui have brightly colored plumage to show that they are distasteful and poisonous.\n\nSome birds have drab plumage which blends in with their surroundings and camouflages them from predators like cats.\n\nIf you look at birds they're far from boring. They're amazing!\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
