Quaker/Conure??

[Renae]

This is what I kind of worry about with Leila (GCC) and Keiba (IRN).

There is always a first time for everything, and sometimes the most surprising things are thrown at us unexpectedly. All the best with the little one, this should be something very, very different.

Soooooooo there is hope for Ross and Kiwi!!

I'm not raising them, Lindsay so I hope you are prepared to take parental leave from the clink and be a stay at home bird mom.

As someone mentioned, Quakers have been sometimes said to be a part of the Conure "family". We have always jokingly referred to them as "Gray Front" Conures in PA where they are illegal.... to get them under the radar if they ever come into the rescue.

And, yes, "parakeet" is a general term used to describe a long tailed smaller parrot- like budgies, conures, quakers, etc. So, all conures are parakeets, but not all parakeets are conures.

I would have faith in the parents to know what to do if this baby does actually hatch. Looking forward to hearing how this turns out.

Oh, and as for hybrids, a friend has a green/blue Hyacinth Buffon's cross. Gorgeous bird.

I have a peach front and a Sun who are in love but don't know the gender of either. Just that they like each other.

Amazing, I would want to see whats in that egg. Please keep it. And also, I would use birth control for everyone in the house in case you guys are in some sort of Twilight Zone fertility bubble.

Can you imagine Matt pregnant

 

[merlinsmom13]

I actually can, he looks like a good daddy! Imagine the senuous look on his face when he holds the baby or the 1st time?

On a serious note, it explains alot about Oscar being so aggressive lately, he was defending his next & his love.

Lindsay, he do know that Kiwi & Ross are boys. Maybe Bridgett or Whitney can explain this to you soon!

Yes that could very well explain Oscar's naughty behavior. And......I did not say imagine him as a daddy but to imagine him pregnant. Big difference.

well, that is amazing. i can't wait to see what a conker looks like. or a baby jesus bird, for that matter

 

[QP4CAG]

I personally wouldn't mind a baby Jesus conker

With parrots and some other types of animals, the definition of a species includes that they wouldn't interbreed in the wild. Sometimes its only due to geographical differences, not biological. Since the species and genus of parrots are frequently based on looks, I can see this happening with a lot of different types of parrots. If male and female eclectuses can be identified as different species, its not a stretch to think that some things are misclassified. Congrats!

"Gray Front Conures"... I love it!

wow, this is so interesting..I definitely would discourage co parenting though..you never know what might happen in that situation....however she is quite capable of feeding the chick on her own..you would have to keep a close eye on things though and be prepared to step in and hand feed at a moment's notice..I do hope that someone on AA will step in and offer to do this for you..you must keep us updated!!!!

 

[SandraK]

And, keep in mind that we all know exactly how determined our fids can be when it comes to doing something naughty that they aren't supposed to do. They almost make human children look spineless in comparison.

"Wait, you're telling me that we can't reproduce with each other? WE'LL SHOW YOU!" Isn't that the truth, yeesh!

Hey Matt. How's the egg?

Coparenting is now becoming an excellent way to rear chicks. Why would you discourage it?
