From my observations the shorter more compact birds of medium body type
tend to display this trait for the single tail look! If the tail feathers on
such a bird are spread I have noticed that the tail feathers tend to be
broader and the shafts rounder. I also believe that a young bird that has
been ill during their first molt or a lack of proper nutrition particularly
while molting their primary flight and tail feathers more often than not
displays the appearance of having a split tail when the molt is over.
