fantails
Pigeons with spreads
Fantails are birds with fan-shaped tails that spread wide, especially small flycatchers of Australia and Asia known for their restless movements and habit of fanning their tails while foraging.
The term also applies to fancy pigeon breeds with elaborate, fan-like tail feathers: The fantails strutted across the dovecote.
A fantail can be any fan-shaped structure—the flared stern of certain boats, or a type of burner that spreads flame in a wide pattern.
