It "dilutes" the gene pool. You can end up with birds generations down the line with odd coloration and sometimes health issues. I have friends with cross bred macaws that have behavior problems as well; such as extremely high strung that they and others feel are associated with the crossing. It would be nice to see all of the pure breeds to have homes before we start mixing the pool.
I had no idea about this.
I like your post.
