Anna's Hummingbird feathers contain no pigment at all. Their intense magenta glow comes entirely from hollow melanosomes refracting light like a prism.

#Feathers&Form is the theme for #BirdOfTheDay.
I thought this hummingbird’s feathers were worthy as their feathers diffract the sunlight into a rainbow of colors.

A backlit hummingbird is caught flying. The wings and tail feathers break the light into rainbow colors.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SplashingAround.

This is a common starling taking a bath. The light was hitting those gorgeous feathers just right.

The porphyrins in Northern Saw-whet Owl feathers glow under UV light. They degrade over time, so older feathers glow less intensely than new feathers. This bird has a clear molt limit between old juvenile feathers and new basic feathers, meaning she was born last summer!

Extreme close-up of a tiny bird with striking magenta-pink iridescent feathers. Its head features a distinctive white crest and long dark needle-like beak. Perched on a thin branch against a blurred green background, the bird's plumage catches the light to display subtle color shifts from deep burgundy to flashes of copper. Its small dark eye is just visible beneath its crown feathers.

Roses are red,
Bird feathers aren't blue,
It's scattered light in tiny air pockets in keratin,
That gives them that hue.
