This talks about the color of some of their birds.

Here were varieties of macaw, with blue, yellow, pink
and red plumage; and, among them a type of bird of
paradise strutted amidst a cloud of what appeared to be
hummingbirds.
These hummingbirds were of a brilliant red color
flecked with gold.
The red, pink and orange tail feathers of the birds
of paradise, would have measured 250 centimeters in
length and their wingspans almost two meters.
When these "jewels" took flight, the underside of
their wings revealed a very soft, misty pink, with
just a touch of bright blue on the tips - so unexpected,
especially as the tops of their wings were of an
orange-yellow color. Their heads wore plumes of
impressive size, each feather being a different
color: yellow, green, orange, black, blue, red, white,
cream....
I feel frustrated that my attempts to describe the
colors I saw on Thiaoouba are so inadequate - I feel
I need a whole new lexicon, as my language fails me.
I had the constant impression that the colors came
from within the objects I looked at, and the color
was more than I had known it to be. On earth, we know
perhaps 15 shades of red; here there must have been
over a hundred...
It wasn't only the colors that claimed my attention.
The sounds that I had heard since we began to fly
over the forest inspired me to seek an explanation from
Thao. It was almost a background music, very light and
soft, similar to a flute which continually played the
same air but at a distance.
As we moved on, the music seemed to change, only
to return to the original tune.
"Is that music I hear?"
"It is vibrations emitted by the thousands of
insects which, when combined with the vibrations of
the colors reflected by solar rays on to certain
plants, such as the Xinoxi, for example, produce
the very musical results that you hear. We,
ourselves, only hear it if we particularly attune
to it, for it comprises an integral part of our life
and our environment. It is restful, isn"t it?"
"Absolutely."
"According to the experts, if these vibrations
were to cease, we would experience considerable eye
trouble. This will perhaps seem odd at first, since
these vibrations appear to be perceptible to the
ear rather than the eye. However, experts are
experts, Michel, and, in any case, it is of little
concern to us, for they also say that the chance of
their ceasing is as remote as the chance of our sun
extingui****ng itself tomorrow."
he got a sort of visor for protection against the
strong light - here also Thao in a celebration-dress
