Answer: To attract a Mate

Explanation: In competition, males use feather color to warn potential rivals that they occupy a piece of territory. When it's time to mate, male birds show off their plumage to attract a mate. In experiments, female birds prefer males with more fanciful feathers, or brighter colors.
