An extremely rare combination, these hybrids have red shoulders, a blue forehead, and extended bare skin between the eye and beak. Judging by the clear-colored maxilla and dark mandible, it’s likely that the Red-shouldered Macaw was of the Noble subspecies (D. nobilis cumanensis). The pictured individual seems to have the proportions of a Blue-crowned Conure,
Blue-crowned x Sun Conure hybrids are mostly green with a dark mandible and lighter maxilla, a red-orange belly, and blue-green flight and tail feathers. The head may sometimes have a bluish wash, while other times having scattered red feathers. Though these crosses may sometimes look like a Red-shouldered Macaw x Sun Conure hybrid, they will
A rare combination, Black-capped x Crimson-bellied Conures are green with a dark gray cap, blackish bill, pale gray ears, olive cheeks, and dark gray collar feathers with thick silver edges. The shoulders have a few red feathers while the rest of the wing is green. Lastly, the forehead, cheeks, nape, and underbelly are washed with
Black-capped x Rose-crowned Conures are rare hybrids with varying gray, orange, and red markings throughout the body. They typically have a dark gray crown, faintly orange ears, and gray collar feathers with silver or yellow-green edges. The sides of the wings often show a patch of red-orange like the Black-capped parent. The belly is reddish,
This cross is arguably the most common conure hybrid due to the misidentification of many Black-caps as Green-cheeks. Their plumage is green with a dark gray cap, green cheeks, pale buff-colored ears, and gray collar feathers with thick silver and yellow edges. Though some birds have a brownish-red belly patch, these are usually very pale
Black-capped x Maroon-bellied Conure hybrids are often confused with pure Maroon-bellied Conures, Green-cheeked Conures, or Green-cheeked x Maroon-bellied Conure hybrids. However, their head and collar feathers are darker than a pure maroon-belly and greener than the other two. They also have pale-colored ears, a dark bill, and often a few red feathers on the edges
Sold at a flea market as a Green-cheeked Conure, the pictured bird is clearly a hybrid between different Pyrrhura conures. It is mostly green with a black cap and bill, bluish crown, faded maroon mask, faded white ears, and obvious diamond-shaped collar feathers that round out towards the chest. The belly and rump are a
While the bird itself isn’t particularly unique, this hybrid solidly proves that at least some cockatoo hybrids are fertile. Although the pictured bird looks similar to a pure Little Corella, having white plumage with yellow underwings, a bare eye, and reddish lore, it also has a gray beak and small yellow-orange crest feathers. It is
Sulphur-crested x Citron-crested Cockatoos are somewhat uncommon hybrids that are rarely identified in captivity; It is believed that many Citron-crested Cockatoos available today have Sulphur-crested or Yellow-crested blood. These birds are almost fully white with yellow underwing and tail feathers, a dark bill, and very pale yellow ear coverts. Compared to pure Sulphur-crested cockatoos, they
Umbrella x Citron-crested Cockatoos are similar hybrids to Sunbrella Cockatoos (Umbrella x Sulphur-crested), having almost fully white plumage with yellow underwings and a dark bill. However, these crosses are often smaller and have mixed white and orange crests. They are far less common than Sunbrellas due to the rarity of Citron-crested Cockatoos in captivity.
