Blue-crowned Conure x White-eyed Conure
An almost completely green bird with a slightly blue-tinted head and an ivory beak. In some birds, the lower mandible may be somewhat grey-ish.
An almost completely green bird with a slightly blue-tinted head and an ivory beak. In some birds, the lower mandible may be somewhat grey-ish.
Depending on which species the hybrid “leans” towards, they can appear more mitred-like with a small red crown, or more blue-crowned-like with a bluer face. Both species have a muddy lower mandible and a normal light maxilla.
Individuals were mature and surrendered to Center For Avian Adoption, Rescue, and Education (CAARE) in West Fargo, ND. USA. Immature birds may have not had as many small red and yellow feathers.
The red and blue appear to “cancel out”, only a few red feathers remain in the pictured individual. It can be expected that most hybrids will be entirely green with a light muddy beak.
These hybrids are mostly green with a gray-brown forehead, blue-green flight feathers, and muddy maxilla (upper beak). They may also have a very faded aqua band below their heads.
An extremely rare combination, these hybrids have red shoulders, a blue forehead, and extended bare skin between the eye and beak. Judging by the clear-colored maxilla and dark mandible, it’s likely that the hahn’s macaw was of the noble subspecies (D. nobilis cumanensis). The pictured individual seems to have the proportions of a blue-crowned conure,
A mostly green hybrid with a dark muddy beak and a red-orange lower stomach. At times they can appear similar to hahn’s and sun conure hybrids, but will always have a normal conure eye ring.
