Do drab birds live longer because they’re putting less energy into making themselves look gorgeous?

Do those drab birds live longer because they’re putting less energy into making themselves look gorgeous? Lor Gynoid

I don’t think so. I think the point is they’re not doing so well anyway because they’ve got less food. In nature I suppose if they did want to live longer by not having such fancy feathers it might give you a bit of a helping hand. That’s something I think we need to study as well because I think that guy was keeping those creatures a bit hungry. I don’t suppose they would have lived as long!
