The peacock furls his tail

Does a peacock get tired of holding up its tail in a fan pattern? At the Aldergrove zoo, with an eye on his admirers, this one gradually relaxed the fan into an elegant rounded shape.

The peacock is a type of pheasant. Though both sexes are commonly called peacocks, the ladies are technically peahens and the general name is peafowl. It's the male who has the gorgeous iridescent plumage.

As shown  in the photo below, by Colin White, the peahen has a crown, and some iridescent neck plumage. But her tail is plain and greyish beige.
