I think some birds are pentachromtes, which means that they have 5 primary colors (we are trichromates and see 3 primary colors).

I think dragonflies are trichomates too, but their primary colors are UV (which we can't see), blue and green.

Answer 2

Birds have better sight than humans, so they see more colors than us. diurnal birds have a pigmented oil within their cones that helps them sharpen their color, and sometimes reduce glare. birds have two to five more cones per square millimeter than found in a human eye. some birds can also see polarized light and UV light

DID YOU KNOW DRAGONFLIES SEE THE MOST COLORS?
