The second proven hybridization between caiques and conures, this cross was first documented in 2022 by a now-deleted user on Reddit. However, due to a lack of posting, it’s possible the hybrid chicks had passed away. The next bird was produced in 2025 by Bruno Soares in Portugal, also between two pet birds. It is
Likely the very first caique + conure hybrids in captivity, these birds have mixed coloration that is almost fully departed from either parent. Two of the Gold-capped x White-bellied hybrids, pictured furthest left, have green heads and wings with a yellow or orange chest and dark-colored bill. The third hybrid, however, has a greater amount
First bred by Lady Poltimore in 1936, these hybrids are very common in captivity but rarely identified. While many pure White-bellied Caiques have orange and black heads as juveniles, hybrids will keep these dark feathers for life. The color of their feet and bill, too, is usually somewhat grayish. The second pictured hybrid was bred
Yellow-chevroned x White-winged Parakeet hybrids are common variants that are often sold as regular members of either species. However, they can be identified by the color of its flight feathers. Pure Yellow-chevroned Parakeets naturally have green primary and secondary flight feathers, yellow primary and secondary coverts, and green median and lesser coverts. Pure White-winged Parakeets
The color of this unique hybrid is very similar to the Mallee Australian Ringneck, while the markings clearly take after a rosella. The majority of its plumage is spring green with cleanly-marked red, yellow, and blue on its face. This combination of a rosella and Australian Ringneck is likely to be infertile due to the
This cross was first reported by R. Fasey in a 1905 article of Aviculture Magazine between a male Twenty-eight Australian Ringneck and female Crimson Rosella. “The hybrids have a black head, green wings, and yellow collar as the yellow-naped ; nearly everywhere else crimson, with blue flights as the adult Pennant”. The blue cheeks of
A mostly green bird with an aqua-colored front and dark gray cap. A small red-orange marking can be found just above the beak and a faded yellow stripe can be seen on the nape. These features indicate that the Australian Ringneck parent was likely the Mallee subspecies. These hybrids almost always occur in the wild
These hybrids are sometimes incorrectly called “intermediate parakeets” due to their close resemblance to true Intermediate Parakeets (Psittacula intermedia), though Plum-head x Slaty-heads almost always have darker lower mandibles whereas the real species does not. Their head coloring, often a mixed pinkish purple, tends to be a little brighter on males. The cross was first
Malabar x Slaty-headed crosses are green hybrids with lightly-scalloped wings, a grayish head, and a thick black ring that thins towards the nape. The variety was described as being “probably an accident”, which indicates that it was bred in captivity. Given the rarity of both parent species in captivity, they are extremely rare and may
Although the pictured hybrid appears most similar to a Long-tailed Parakeet, its wings each have a yellow-green patch and its chest has scattered salmon-colored feathers reminiscent of its Moustache Parakeet parent. This bird was spotted in the wild and would likely have success joining a Long-tailed Parakeet flock given its visual similarities.
