Yes I have noticed this. There plumage is certainly rather a irridescent black rather than just plain all black. I think several black birds have a not so obvious at a fair distance irridescent sheen on them - Koels, Corvids, Spangled Drongo's etc. When one gets quite reasonably close and with reasoanble sunlight on these birds, then they can see this.
