Have you ever seen a smart creature that changes its color in a single second?
No, I'm not talking about the lizard.
I am talking about this tiny masterpiece of nature, known as the hummingbird.
People often think that the feathers of a hummingbird are painted with colorful paint.
But the truth is far more disturbing.
If I were to tell you that this peacock's feathers actually have no color at all,
So will you believe it?
Yes, all this is just an illusion of the eyes.
In today's video, we will unveil the magical secret of the hummingbird.
The iridescence of the hummingbird's feathers is called "iridescence" in the language of the Sais.
Birds such as parrots or pigeons have pigments in their feathers.
That is, the color of these is exactly what appears to us.
But in the case of the hummingbird, all of this is the marvel of structural color.
On their feathers, there are microscopic layers, that is, layers.
Containing small bubbles of air.
When the sunlight strikes these layers,
So this is not like an ordinary glass,

Looked completely black or gray.
But as soon as he turns his neck by just a few degrees
Your eyes will be dazzled by its brilliance.
Cyanobacteria indicate that melanin is present in their filaments.
It filters the light in this way
Only specific colors are perceived.
That is why, when this bird displays its feats in the air
It looks as if a tiny diamond is sparkling in the breeze.
Now the question arises: why did nature bestow this magical gift?
It has two major objectives.
The first purpose is to make its companion responsible.
Male hummingbirds often use their dazzling necks to show females how healthy and strong they are.
As we discussed in our previous video about the feathers of the owl.
The second purpose is to protect from enemies.
When in dense forests, its black or dark color helps it blend in and remain hidden.
But when read with urgency, it can also dazzle the enemy with its brilliance.
So, the next time you see a hummingbird, remember that the color you're seeing is not just a single hue, but a magnificent masterpiece of light and nature's engineering.
