Can you mix different parrot finch species together ? | Finch Hybrids

- In this video ill give my personal opinion on a question that many have when it comes to mixing different species of parrot finches like red throats, forbes, blue face and so on in the same aviary. Will they hybridize ? Is it safe to mix species ? How can I avoid potential problems ? And are hybrids bad ? In this video I will answer these questions and more !

NIce video, i m a breeder from Europe, from Spain, i breed mostly hybrids, i ve won gold medal on the spanish national show with an hybrid between Common Redpoll and Greenfinch. Hybrids are extremely difficult to create, mainly beacause behavior differences between species, or genetics differences. Now, i ve been trying to breed hybrids between zebra finches, society finches, star finches, long tail finchs, etc for the las 3 years, and I only obtained 1 chick, after more than 100 eggs, is extremely difficult, and there is not many information on internet about which species are more close genetically and easy to obtain hybrids between them, but I will keep trying for sure.
I share your opinion about hybrids, I think there is nothing wrong with breeding hybrid birds as long as they are infirtile though. But it is better to avoid it if you do not have a certain goal for your hybrid birds. In Europe breeding mules and hybrids is common but is mostly focused on creating beatiful showbirds and exellent songbirds (for example goldfinch/canary mule). Fertile hybrids or hybrids from very closely related species of birds are not allowed on the birdshows in the Netherlands. Nice video once again.
The bonding concept is actually a good idea. Thanks !
I personally think that hybridization in parrot finches depletes and compromises greatly the availability and preservation of the pure species and confuses the average non educated buyer recently in miami mule blue face/red face hybrids were been sold at a pet shop I think its really bad the owner was not educated nor care to inform the public I told him and thought that that was a beautiful bird period I personally think the birds are not pretty mixing those colors in the face,the dilution of both colors is neither blue or red and patched I think hybridization of finches has a place and time and more importantly a purpose and shouldn't be the public average pet store owner to decide it should be left to experiment with seasoned breeders that care about species breeding and preservation so I agree and disagree as well depending the application. Personally I love each species
I always want to try it!
Very nice and colorful video!
I love my parrot finches. So active, little clowns
Great video. Is this the same advice if I add gouldian Finches to an aviary with parrot finches, as I read thru can also hybridise with each other?
Awesome video!
I had good success with Zebra and the white finches in Germany and in Philadelphia years ago. I am retired now and would like very much to have one or two pairs soon. Just got a large new cage two days ago. I just want tweak this cage a bit first.
I have kept Gouldians, red faced and blue headed parrot finches together in an aviary of only medium size and have never bred hybrids. Luck I guess..the harder I work, the luckier I get.
Amazing informations and amazing birds thanks
Thank you Simo glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
Do you pair them up for sale? I want to buy a pair but I don’t drive and I live in Crestview FL
So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ bro
I am Interested in white diamond doves. I am in south FL.
Is it true that parrot finches die if lkept in a wet floor aviary ( from rain) ? I bought 7 and 5 died. Only two if 3 colour oarrot f. survived.
What gets along with zebra finches and budgies I have two separate aviaries! I love ur video’s
I have two male red headed pied parrot finch, one is mainly green, the other mainly yellow. The pied hen is mainly yellow, which cock should I put her too. I will get another hen for the other cockbird. Ty in advance
Depends what you want. Yellow + yellow will make pieds with a lot more yellow, yellow + green will make birds that are moderately yellow.
Sir kindly make a vedio on strawberry finch about breeding and favorite food etc.
Lo puede aser en español por favor?
Nice..🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Thank you very much for your beautiful and useful videos. I have a question. Is it possible to marry a red-headed Parrot Finch with a blue-headed bird?
With hybridization, why would it create sterile mules when it happened in the Big Bird Lineage in Galapagos and now they're a new species of Finch?
How to contact you if i may require to discuss about purchasing few finch species and importing them to Pakistan
Why don't you keep canary birds in your Aviary??
Good 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Wow anchio voglio comprare gli uccellini così bellissimi. Per adesso l'ho diversi. Puoi consigliarmi dove me li posso comprare? Sono a Praga Česká republika. Marco Roddy Damaros ❤🐦❤🐦❤
something to clarify on your video... parrot finch hybrids ARE fertile and can easily be mixed back into other breeding flocks, which I don't think is a good thing.
the hybrids in Europe are canary hybrids primarily. mixing with european, siberian, etc goldfinches siskins and other related species.
the euro lutino gouldian (brown head not red) originated as a hybrid of the lutino blue faced parrot finch that was then bred back into the gouldians to establish the line. I've seen red-throated x blue faced hybrids sold as red-eared, blue faced x forbes being sold as forbes, etc. If i had the money i'd buy these birds if only to remove them from potentially being mixed into the gene pool of pure species, but that's not always an option.
Never
I love hybrids
