Do budgies see in ultraviolet light?

Yes, budgies, along with other parrots and many species of birds, can see ultraviolet (UV) light. Birds have four types of cone cells in their retinas, including one that is sensitive to UV light, allowing them to perceive a wider range of colors than humans can. This helps them in various aspects of their survival, such as foraging, identifying mates, and avoiding predators.
