A type of large, meaty pigeon breed developed for meat production; also called a Carneau pigeon.
From French carneau, possibly related to chair 'meat' or from a place name. English adopted this as a specific breed name for domestic pigeons.
Carneau pigeons were developed specifically to have massive breasts and optimal meat production—and they're so good at this that they're still the standard meat bird for pigeon farmers worldwide.
