Conure Hybrids

Nanday Conure

crossed with a

Sun Conure

equals a

Nansun Conure

Blue Crowned Conure crossed with a Nanday Conure

(now this is something that I have just seen 4 days ago, these two birds below were suppose to be paired with their same kind but when separated they stopped eating. So, the breeder put them back together and let them go at it and the two pictures under them are two different chicks from their clutches (not exactly chicks they are around 7 years old)

Chick #1 BlueDay Conure, NanCrowned? lol I don't know what to call it

Different Chick #2

And its somewhat common to see Jenday and Sun Conure crosses and the chicks look similar to both, but at this past Atlanta Bird Fair one breeder said that they knew of Sun Conure Green Cheek hybrids....

Is is possible? I'm eager to find or take a picture.

Many breeders do not like or condone the mixing of conure species. Making mix breeds on purpose. It can ruin the purebreds if there become lots of mixing, and others may say that it can cause bad health or genetic problems.

Others think its quite neat to mix the species. So far in avian culture hybrids seem to be sold for lots less than purebreds, unlike designer dogs these days like when you cross a yorkie and poodle (yorkiepoo) you get more money for the mutt.
