What's the deal with these overly colored animals anyway. They not only look like total tryhards, but very garish as well. How about showing some dignity, like European birds, with their nice muted colors.

A king sets the standard for dignity, cretin, no excuses need be given

Birds can see into the UV range, those "muted" birds might look more like a scarlet macaw if you could see UV.

bright colors = poisonous

It's a simple rule almost every animal understands.... and then there's OP

Color can be pretty important for determining the health of another conspecific animal, which is important for a social species like many birds. (also not like european birds aren't also vibrant, like this kingfisher I found by searching)

Also if it doesn't hurt an animal's success rate of survival, then its likely fine.

GOD put animals on earth for US, it's utterly preposterous for these feathered fools to sidestep our visible spectrum.

being retarded and bright and still surviving signals to mates that youre a fit match

Did you have cataract surgery before the 1980s?

>Up until the 1980s, cataract surgery involved removing the cloudy lens from the eye and not implanting a replacement, so people who had the operation could see UV light. For these people and those born without a lens, UV light looks like a pale blue or pale violet, Bok said. In a famous example, impressionist painter Claude Monet saw more blue and purple overtones in water lilies after having cataract surgery in 1923 and reflected this difference in his later paintings.

Pretending it's not there, but not very good at it.
