Close feathered around beak and same color as beak. Close fitting mandibles wide at base and thick in profile giving a blunt, boxed effect not coming to a sharp point, both mandibles to be of equal thickness and substance. Small, neat, fine in texture and white in color. Close fitting so as to appear an integral part of the beak rather than set upon it. Chest broad, deep and well-rounded carried forward.
Appearance is one of cobbiness with well-rounded contours.
Flights tightly folded, broad and short coverts closing neatly over the rump. There should be 12 main tail feathers. Fine, smooth and soft with good breadth. Profuse and reasonably loose on head and neck to give fullness, becoming closer and tighter fitting on body, wings and tail. Feet small, shanks and feet free of feathers, and a bright coral red.
