Indian Fantail

The Indian Fantail is a striking and elegant breed of domestic pigeon, known for its distinctive and eye-catching appearance. Characterized by a robust body and a graceful demeanor, this breed is particularly renowned for its fan-shaped tail, which consists of 30 to 40 large feathers that are meticulously spread out, forming a dramatic and broad fanned shape. The Indian Fantail has a smooth head with a rounded forehead and a short, stout beak. Its eyes are sparkly and expressive, adding to its overall charm.

One of the unique features of the Indian Fantail is its posture; it stands in a proud, almost regal manner with its chest slightly puffed out and tail elevated.
