Birds perceive colours in categories

Kelber, Almut LU (2018) In Nature 560. p.311-312
Abstract
Humans perceive colours in categories such as red, even though we can discern
red hues including ruby and crimson. It emerges that birds also categorize
colours and this affects their colour-discrimination ability.
