The hummingbirds’ sense of color is due to the dense concentration of cones
in its retina. The cones themselves contain pigments and oil droplets in
shades of yellow to red, which seem to act like filters. The filters appear
to heighten color sensitivity in the red to yellow range, while muting
colors such as blue.
But it turns out that it’s the nectar, not the color that makes the most
difference with hummingbirds. By varying the nectar content of flowers,
researchers were quickly able to switch hummers from a preference for red to
a preference for the most nectar-rich flowers, regardless of color. So even
though hummingbirds’ eyes have a heightened sensitivity to colors in the red
to yellow range, the little sprites are fast learners and will go to where
the nourishment is.
