Forbes with other Parrots?

Post by managermania » Sat Feb 25, 2012 11:30 pm

Do any of you keep Forbes with Red Throated Parrots?
I've obviously read about hybrids possible but have any of you had issues with this?

I forgot who it was, but somebody on here has hybrid chicks from keeping the two together. But that is only because they had one of each gender caged together. I'm sure it is a last resort thing

I have kept Forbes in the same flight as my RH Parrots....There is always a chance of cross breeding....My RH Parrot bred my BH Parrot only because I thought the BH Parrot was a boy...OPPS!....He didn't try to breed the Forbes female in the same cage but it would be possible....I would only keep same sex in a flight to avoid this...
