Blue pigments have only evolved a few times in nature and is not widely spread. A lot of blues in nature are structural rather than pigments. What that means is, microscopic structures form which bend light in such a way that they appear blue. Blue eyes vaguely work this way.

tl;dr Blue pigments are incredibly rare in animals. Most blue's you see are that way(eyes, most butterflies, that one part on a peacock's tail feathers) because of the structure of their skin or whatever rather than evolution creating blue out of the blue. I probablydescribed that wrong/poorly, but I just watched the whole video so *shrugs*

Blue rare in nature. Usually an illusion(?), not actually in the pigment.

I know probably no one will listen to this....but it's one of my favorite songs.
And only about a Blue Bird, and I'll leave it there. It's a great song.

I know this is a really dumb question to ask about a video about a color, but can I just listen to it?

It's fine for most of the video where they're just explaining the science behind it, but some of it would be weird without the visual.

Water merely reflects the blue in the sky.

Thinking of water as blue is a recent cultural invention.

Homer (The Odyssey) describes the sea as "wine-dark," for example.
