Peacock tail brush.

Last month, I met my one friend who's a (Spanish) language instructor for a walk near her house, with both of us wearing masks and standing quite a bit apart as we walked, of course.

As we passed one waste bin that the local park service had put out for people to put their trash into, I saw a peacock tail feather sticking out of it, and then like a second later I realized that it was an old slim pushbroom-type broom with the broom side up but like set in the same direction as the handle and not perpendicular to it, and that I had been looking directly into its bristles.
