wow. do these birds have any functionality other than the obvious? are they just show, or do they sell the feathers or something.
maybe thats a dumb question, but i just cant wrap my brain around caring for 10 feet of tail feather........ im sure there are shows with prize money so i answered my own question.

Yep, I'm sure it's just an art form, more than anything. The pride that they get of being able to maintain birds to have tails that long is the reward I would think, I would imagine they also show them and would sell any feathers that fall out themselves, but of course they wouldn't luck them or anything.

yep all that plus breeder males of that caliper, sell for $1500 or so each, some double that. Solely ornamental, and fully dependant on humans for survival, they wouldnt make it on their own with all the special care needs they have.

That is correct. Phoenix and Yokos are not the same breed. And phoenix do not get 20ft long tails, ( A well bred phoenix could get a 3-4 ft long tail with good care). Japanese Onagadori are the only ones that can get tails up to 20ft long and that reguires EXSTREAM maintainance and care.

Yokohama's have pea combs and phoenix have single combs.
