Am I right in remembering that bird color vision works diffrently than
in mammals? I believe that the color sensitive cells of birds have a
colored dye (red, green or blue) to filter out other wavelengths of
light and the cell just detects the intensity of the filtered light
instead of being sensitive around a certain wavelength.

What other methods of color vision do animals have"
