Fantail

Fantail

Today, we are going to learn a special bird.
The bird is called as a fantail. The bird is the kind that people artificially breed, its original kind is called a rock pigeon. When you look at this bird, you will know the reason why the bird is called a fantail. It is because the bird has a tail father like a peahen. Among those, a white fantail is a symbol of peace and it often appears at an advertisement or a wedding. Usual pigeons have 12 tail fathers, but this fantail has 20 to 30 tail fathers, and they are unrolled like a fan shape of a peahen. Gender is hard to be distinguished, while female fantail has a thin neck, male fantail has a thick neck to ruffle up feathers. They are mild which makes it easy to keep and their biological characteristic is similar to a usual pigeon.
