Lovebirds

If a male peach face mates with a female black mask lovebird what will the chick look like?

Hi,

This would produce a hybrid, IF the birds even get along, bond and breed. Deliberately breeding hybrids is very much frowned upon in aviculture. Also, peach face tend to be much more aggressive than the masked lovebirds. I would not recommend trying this pairing. As for what any offspring might look like, it would be random. Hybrids do not breed true.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
