I will disagree here. Hybrids are hybrids, regardless of the family and you may end up with a better mix or a worse mix. I think it's just more acceptable to hybridize the Macaws. I fell head over heels in love with a Citron/Bare Eyed cross a long while back and they supposedly make a good hybrid. It's definitely going to be more of an individual bird thing than anything else.Some of the hybrid cockatoos are pretty and even neat looking. But I personally would not recommend a cockatoo hybrid. Most hybrid cockatoos have a "bad" attitude, and hybrid 'too seem to pick up the "worst" traits from both parents. Most people cannot live with a regular 'too, a hybrid is twice as much as a regular 'too.
From a rescue point of view, it seems unconscienable to breed hybrid cockatoos for profit. Hybrid or not, the statistics on rehoming will hold true. In a few years, when these adorable babies feel a surge of hormones and test their owners, they will be back on the market or in rescue.WHY??? there are so many "regular" TOOs and other parrots that need homes and now they are doing this? Unbelievable!!! Especially since TOOs are the most relinquished birds. Stupid people.
Im just looking at the behavioral aspect of it.I will disagree here. Hybrids are hybrids, regardless of the family and you may end up with a better mix or a worse mix.
