Abstract
Lay Summary The male with the most mates is the bravest. If a male village weaverbird leaves his breeding colony when it is threatened, he saves himself but abandons his territory to predators and fierce rivals. This study shows that polygynous male weavers stand their ground during a disturbance according to how much they have to lose, especially how many females occupy their nests. Even the same male will get braver as he gains more females.
