The correct answer to your question about which courtship behavior improves chances of survival is likely:

Male birds with bright colors have to preen frequently in order to maintain their feathers and keep pests away so they can attract mates.

This behavior may improve their survival because maintaining their feathers helps them stay in good flying condition and free from pests, ultimately allowing them to be more successful both in attracting mates and avoiding threats.

Again, I appreciate your understanding and patience, and I’m sorry for the confusion earlier. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
