They also have a fairly natural stance, while the American form stands on tip-toes and leans way back, with head almost buried between the breast and tail. The birds strut about on tiptoe with their large fan-shaped tail displayed and their head pressed back into it. The head shakes and twitches as the bird dances about. They are found in many colors, the most popular of which are White, Black, Blue, Red, Yellow, Silver, Dun and various Splashes. The tail should be cut back during the breeding season as it interferes with mating. Fantails are generally not very good parents and it is often necessary to foster rear the young on another breed.

Both white and black colourations can have a shell crest although today it is rare to see a black Frillback showing this ornament. By their nature they like to walk about and if allowed liberty will wander around the pigeon loft or garden, getting into all kinds of places it should not and on more than one occasion I have had to shoo them out of the kitchen, in this they are very comical running rather than flying off down the garden, if allowed their liberty when unattended a meeting with a cat is a very likely outcome. They can become very tame with their owners but I have noticed this depends on colour with blacks and whites being the friendliest, blue grizzles sometimes being wild and the reds being very combative with each other but not with other breeds.
