I did not know this about BLUE FEATHERS…
Red feathers are red...
Yellow feathers are yellow...
but blue feathers don't have a chemical pigment at all... so how and why do they appear blue?
I used a microscope to answer this!
A big thank you to the provider of the feathers - the incredible Manko the Macaw!
