When someone wants to show up too much, we say he likes to "split his peacock tail." Males have long and very colorful feathers on the tail, which opens in a fan shape. All this serves to impress and win over females. We often observe several males showing off to a single female, as she is the one who chooses the most beautiful among them. Females have feathers with much more discreet colors and cannot open their tails like males.
