Birds that glow in the dark ....
Well, not quite but some do have 'colours' only visible in ultra-violet light: BBC News | SCOTLAND | Love birds glow crazy
I recall that something similar is how male and female blue tits ( Parus caeruleus) are told apart.
Is this a common thing amongst birds?

Glowing Parrots
Here is a link from the Australian Museum with some info and images of various parrots with fluorescent plumage.
Birds - Glowing parrots
Apparently some Birds of Paradise also have feathers that absorb UV light and re-emit it as a different colour.
