This episode—which is Number 56— is all about the colors of birds.The diversity of color in bird plumages is one of the things we love most about these animals.But bird plumages are impressive not only when they display vibrant colors plucked from the rainbow. Thousands of species aren’t what we’d call colorful, but they do have gorgeous, intricately patterned feathers in combinations of black, brown, and white.Today, we’re looking at how feathers get their colors, from white to subtle earth tones to scintillating displays of wild iridescence.~~ Leave me a review using Podchaser ~~Links of InterestSponsor Link: Sign up through wren.co/birds to make a difference in the climate crisis, and Wren will plant 10 extra trees in your name!Link to this episode on the Science of Birds websiteSupport the show
