Do birds see the colour white at all? We all know there are lots of birds that have white wings. Recently, many bird species have been proven to be tetrachromatic i.e. they have cone opsins able to absorb at UV wavelengths and so can discriminate ultraviolet light as well. Does this mean that they cannot see white?

Could anybody tell me what's happened to my strawberry? It has a normal stalk on the top, but also a completely separate bud of leaves growing out of the side. Does anybody know what's going on here?

Are we all blind? Last week, I helped a blind guy cross the road and while we were crossing the road I asked him if blind people can hallucinate and have dreams. He said "Of course we can". I researched this and it turns out that blind people can in fact hallucinate. This got me thinking. I was wondering if it is possible that we are all blind and we are all hallucinating the same things?
