Hi guys! I'm proud keeper of 2 years old Hahn's Macaw boy. I'm going to get him a girlfriend as soon as I'm able to. However, I'd love to find him a different species female - and I could really use your help in this matter What's important to me is if the two species can also crossbreed.
The first one I'm keeping my eye on is Goffin's cockatoo. They seem to be similiarly sized and, from what I've been hearing and reading, absolutely lovely and friendly. The problem is, I have no idea - or even doubt - if those two species can produce babies.
The second one is Sun Conure. I know the species tend to get along and many people keep them paired. Although I don't have a firm proof, I read they can crossbreed.
Both cockatoos and conures tend to be loud - I'm not sure which one is worse, though, do you have some experience with their voices? And are sun conures at least -almost- as cute and cockatoos? Would they get along with very social Hahn's? Which is harder to raise properly, or more problematic? My boy isn't aggressive, but he loves to bite fingers and doesn't like being touched, the issues I have been trying to deal with and without much success. Cuddly bird would not only be cute, but could also show him that it's okay to be more affectionate - Stark loves spending time with me, but usually as long as it's him who is stroking me
Any ideas? I'd love opinions. Or maybe do you have on mind any other species possible to live and crossbreed with the Hahn's?
