See the graph in post #8 are budgies colour blind?

Cool set-up. I researched and wanted to do that a few years ago but never got around to it.
LouieBird, Thank you so much for the reply. I had searched all over the forum and the web and couldn't find anything about what spectrum of light birds could see.

Based on that chart, the program I saw must have said the Buds use UV light to see those little freckles (do they have a proper name?). Well I'm relieved to see the fids probably don't even have a clue the lights are on.

My wife also made a good point, how many tropical birds you see flying at night? If they have IR sensitive vision, night flight would be no problem.

Thanks again, Bones
