Seriously? I don't believe I have ever heard of this hybrid. I think a hypothetical hybrid of the BTM and RFM would very much resemble a Maui Sunset (B&G/RFM). The throat/facial line area would be somewhat different and the bird a bit smaller but I'm sure it would look a lot like a Maui Sunset in most other respects.
A BTM/RFM hybrid would be a bird to inherit the greatest controversy because of its very existence out of all the hybrid macaws. Both these species are critically endangered in the wild with perilously low numbers. Although it would be interesting to see and certain of the bird's potential beauty, I'm not sure about this hybrid.
Here's my dirty, rotten Catalina, KatyHe's now 21 (or 22..can't remember) and mean as a snake...LOL! I adopted him from Companion Parrots Rescued here in Charlotte almost two years ago. He loves, loves, loves my BG Gideon and even tho he hates everyone, he's very happy here with his girlfriend!!

Katy is just gorgeous! Catalinas are one of my favorite hybrids.

I am new to this board but came across your picture of Chaz. My first thought was a hybrid of B&G and RFM. His head shape & beak, feathering around the eye and the color of the eye looks a lot like my RFM. Pretty good-looking guy!
Now this is a spoke in the wheel so to speak. The first time anyone has said differently to a patagonian and blue and gold! This is interesting, not that it makes much difference to Chaz or myself, we love each other and are going to be staying together in this life, but it does make for interesting reading.
Could you post a picture of your bird so we could all see the resemblence? Thank you so much for your input.![]()
Where would the white eye patch and absolutely no red on the head come in? I don't think he looks like Holly.
