The article I read said humans 1 rod and 3 single cones allowing us to see a broad spectrum of colors. Turkeys however have 1 rod, 4 single cones, and 2 double cones allowing them to see colors better than humans along with UV wave lengths according to the article. Here's the link

I wanted to let you know I am still trying to find that but don't seem to be able to. Found another that clearly stated deer do not see red or green but that is not the one I am looking for.

I just clicked on the link and it works for me.

It's VERY seldom that I use any kind of light in the turkey woods. On the rare occasions that I do, I use a single LED red light, or a green Streamlight Stylus pen light which has a cover over the light.

Sent from deep in the woods where the critters roam.

Just bought a green LED light today at our sporting goods store. Going to see how it does over next couple weeks.

I put a red lens over top of a green lens which makes a black light, have never spooked a gobble with this set up.

a side benefit is certain mushrooms glow in the dark, making for easy pickings

Green light, yellow light, red light, stop sign or no light.
I dont think there's a Silver Bullet when it comes to setting up in a creature's bedroom. Im a heavy sleeper personally but certain things get me up instantly bc it's unfamiliar. Sometimes you're busted, sometimes you get it right. Forget color. Lumens are lumens, and they're awkwardly moving in a straight(ish) line from the bird's perspective.
I think i'd err on the side of frugal vs. trusting any gimmick.

I mean I could not find the information I had read in the past, the link you provided is working fine.
