A large, heavy utility breed developed for squab (meat) production; calm, tame, and increasingly kept simply as a docile pet.

Keeper tips for this variant

Their bulk makes them poor flyers and easy hawk targets, so keep them in a secure aviary; watch weight on a pet bird — limit high-energy grain to avoid obesity and fatty-liver issues in a non-breeding pet King.
