I read a passage in a book growing up, I can't remember what book it was, but it was about how crows are only black to humans, they can see different colors than we can so they're very colorful to each other, covered in all sorts of brilliant colors.
Another fun fact: bees can see utraviolet, and flowers are "designed" for bees, so many of the patterns are invisible to humans, but visible under UV photography:

While seeing the same wavelength range, human tetrachromats (4 types instead of 3 RGB receptor cones in retina) recognize 100M colors instead of the standard 1M.
I have heard this too but I have never seen it validated. I was hoping this project might take aim at a crow and confirm/deny this hypothesis.
