I'm pretty sure it's stated in game that chocobo are bred to accommodate different race sizes, so I thought it would be fun to design them as different breeds. Click to read more!
Standard bred chocobo are of medium size and the most common. They're largely preferred by hyur and are considered the most versatile. While Lalafell prefer a miniature chocobo as a mount, many farmers also raise them as livestock guardian animals for their flocks.
Miqo'te often breed a slightly smaller type of chocobo which are built for speed and often seen in racing. Two popular breeds for elezen include a swan-like, elegant bird as well as an Ishgardian breed with thicker feathers (often used to stuff expensive pillows)
The breed favored by Au Ra vary greatly in size like auri themselves. While omnivorous, this breed also tends to have a higher taste for meat. Viera bred chocobo are the rarest breed, with lithe legs and a long beak for survival in heavily wooded areas.
Hrothgar and Roegadyn often prefer large, draft breeds of chocobo. Hrothgar bred chocobo have the rare ability to turn their heads 180 degrees, and Roe chocobo are also commonly used for chocobo carriages.
Just some fun little headcanons, I hope you enjoy them :)
