Hello, im looking for some insight from macaw owners/ enthusiasts that could tell me their opinion on hybrid macaws, i have owned a range of birds in the past and would characterise myself as an experienced owner looking to step up the game most likely with a blue and gold macaw. Yesterday someone said "get a Catalina, there cute." i had never really thought of hybrids in the past until now. Can they even be ethically bred? im a huge dog person so for me mixes bred for certain traits are a no go but was wondering if it was the same with parrots?
i would imagine at the least they would be unpredictable, with increased health risk: but would really appreciate if someone could educate me.
 
I dunno, are designer dogs ethical? THis is more of a personal question, for each prospective owner. Read up on the Macaw sub forum, stuff by birdman666, he touches on hybrids.
