Need help on what mutation my caique is many thanks

[NewbirdMum]

Hi everyone I am a new bird mom and have purchased a beautiful girl (presume) caique.
She was advertised as a BHC but after doing a bit of research I'm unsure as she hasn't got a black beak and her head is not fully black and her chest is not as white. I understand all birds are not the same but could she possibly be a hybrid mix between a BHC and a WBC.
She is only 6 months old.

Any advice appreciated thank you

Beautiful caique. I think he/she is either a WBC or a hybrid WBC/BHC.

What a cutie pie!! Looks like a young WBC.

I would say the bird is a hybrid....

and I wonder if she might be related to this (slightly older) caique

My BHC has WBC colors

Hello! First time posting here since this has both me and my caique's vet stumped! Lol. My BHC (1 year 4 months old) has been going through multiple molts, and has been losing the black feathers on his head, and gaining orange feathers. He has green under his eyes like a BHC, yet yellow legs...

Generally speaking, health concerns typically occur between hybrids that the parent species aren't closely related... i.e. some of the macaw hybrids, the large conure x small conure hybrids, conure x macaw hybrids....

Not sure on the following hybrids (would be shocked if NONE had any health issues!)

cockatiel x galah
conure x amazon
amazon x macaw
amazon x pionus
conure x caique
african grey x jardines
lorikeet x king parrot
rosella x australian ringneck (anything besides infertility?)


Of the ones I can think of off of the top of my head...
