Am I the only one that thinks those guys aren't black, but rather colorful as fuck, like parrots, but in very dark colors? I mean: every time I look upon those, especially in the sunshine, I see both dark blue and dark green in their feathers. Told about that to my friend and he called me delusional. Am I right or am I wrong?

Well you're wrong, they're just black feathers. However, you're not imagining things - crow feathers are iridescent, and at the right angle will refract light and appear multi-coloured.

It's the oil on their feathers that causes a sheen.

I for one think pigeons are really beautiful. I love their shiny, shimmery necks, and I can appreciate variations in the colour grey.

They are probably much more colorful than we can see as are many birds.
