If satin bowerbirds favor blue, they reject red. Plop a crimson object down amid the blue ones, and the birds will quickly remove the offender, fly off with it, and drop it at some distance, out of view. Some observers even go so far as to suggest that fouling the bird’s bower with any shred of red will make the bird madder than a wet hen. Why this aversion to red?
