Just found out that birds see in ultraviolet.
I have zero idea what ultraviolet is or even what that means other than UV rays but that means nothing to me.
It seems like it would be easier to spot birds in trees or fields if I could see in ultraviolet maybe similar to how we have heat cameras or night vision goggles.
Is there an ultraviolet camera or scope or something similar?

Actually there is a surgery that makes you see UV: certain old crystalline lens prostheses allow the recipient to see it. It’s a shitty superpower: reportedly, it looks like a washed out blue, you don’t see anything interesting with it, and it makes your retina degrade and you eventually go blind. That’s why modern crystalline lens prostheses filter out UV.
