It sounds like other traits that display invisible survival ability by getting rid of a visible survival ability, like a peacock tail. A male that attracts predators but is still alive must be able to escape them well.

“In order to mate, I must be in the vicinity of a predator.”

Uh, yeah…the Fairy Wren can not be a species of bird that will survive natural selection.
