Top Ten Birds with Beautiful and Unique Tails

The tails of these birds are beautiful and unique. Which bird do you think has the most beautiful and unique tail?
The Top Ten
1 Peacock The peafowl include two Asiatic bird species (the blue or Indian peafowl originally of India and Sri Lanka and the green peafowl of Myanmar, Indochina, and Java) and one African species (the Congo peafowl native only to the Congo Basin) of bird in the genera Pavo and Afropavo of the Phasianidae family, the pheasants and their allies, known for the male's piercing call and, among the Asiatic species, his extravagant eye-spotted tail covert feathers which he displays as part of a courtship ritual.

Fun fact: the "tail" of a male peacock is not actually its tail. It's real tail can be seen behind the false "tail" when it's opened.

Anyone who thinks the peacock should not be at the top of this list is insane. One look and you just HAVE to vote for this bird.

I remember those peacocks. Peacocks are sweet, innocent ones.

9 Long-Tailed Paradise Whydah
10 Lady Amherst's Pheasant
The Contenders
11 Flycatcher

They're colors aren't as bright as some others...

12 Scissor tailed flycatcher

In my opinion, Scissor tailed flycatcher which is an Oklahoma bird is also the most beautiful bird and also very unique because of its species name is Scissor tailed flycatcher (Tyrannus forficatus) has a tail that looks like a pair of scissors. So that is why this bird is called the bird of Texas' bird-of-paradise. Because it looks like a big yellow bird of paradise in Indonesia (Papua) which is exactly the same shape.

13 Fantail
14 Long-tailed Tit

Its tail is over half of its total body length.

15 Magpie
