Fantails

/ˈfæn.teɪlz/ noun

Definition

Plural of fantail; multiple birds with fan-shaped tails, or multiple fantail pigeons.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'fantail' by adding '-s'. The word maintains its meaning across both zoological and domesticated bird contexts.

Kelly Says

Fantails represent how humans have domesticated nature according to absurd aesthetic preferences—we didn't breed fantails to be better at anything functional, just to look ridiculous and impressive, making them pure examples of artificial selection for vanity.
