What Exterior Paint Colors Are Birds Attracted to?: When you are talking about birds they actually use their vision and the colors they see to their advantage. They use their sight and the colors they see to focus on a mating partner. They also need to be able to spy a juicy berry or a worm that seems appetizing. If they can’t find food to eat they cannot survive. If you are using a bright paint color on the exterior of the house you may be just what birds are looking for. They love to find a field of berries and your bright colored home may just trick them into it. If you are dealing with birds that are more cautious then the opposite is true with color choice. The colors they tend to look for are natural colors that will help them blend in and hide from a potential predator. A color that nearly every bird will stay away from is white. White is a color that tends to mean danger to birds and they will steer clear.
