Peacocks spread their tails primarily during the mating season to attract females. This extravagant display, known as "train fanning," showcases their vibrant feathers and intricate patterns, which are used to impress potential mates. Additionally, peacocks may also fan their tails to assert dominance or during threats to deter predators.
