Question
Dear Dianna,
I have a 3 year old female african grey parrot,a friend of mine has a 5year old male amazon, do you think these two can be a pair and would they mate? before i make a mistake i thought of getting your advice. please reply soon. thank you.

Answer
Hello Faisla and thank you for your post.
I have never known of anybody who tried this, and I do not think it would be a good idea. You want to keep each breed pure, and cross breeding such as this can produce babies that are sick, deformed, or worse. If you want to breed your African Grey, then breed her with another African Grey.

Good luck and God Bless.
Dianna
