UV brightners

I know for a fact that deer are sensitive to UV brightners e.g house hold washing powders ect. Are ducks the same? I've tried finding information on it but its all deer, deer, deer!

Seems they can see ultra violet light! I read this in a magazine of mine just now.The feather patterns on birds actually reflect UV light to ducks so for a more realistic decoy one can place feathers on it. Interesting to note they have even better color discriminaton than us also! Another important fact is we have only 200 000 cones persquare milimeter while a duck has over 400 000. The most important thing the article says is to stay still and to wear good camo that breaks up your outline as thier movement detection is incredibly supperior to ours .However it does not talk about the impact UV brightners have though.
Good homework for us all!
