Welcome... Though might I suggest that you seperate the two birds immediately??? You are trying to hybridize two different types of conures, who may or may not be able to reproduce. The chicks could be sterile, like mules, or they might be able to reproduce, which if then the chicks were sold, and later bred, they would produce even more hybrid offspring.

The most likeliest of outcomes is that you would produce hybrid offspring that would be able to reproduce themselves, which would "soil" the bird gene pool (or blood). Please, refrain from hybridizing these two birds together, as birds are becoming so rare with a proper amount of fresh 'blood', gene pools, in a breeding flock, and so many birds being killed off from various reasons in the wild.

You can keep the two birds in seperate cages in the same room, and allow them supervised out of cage time, but PLEASE, for the sake of the birds, DO NOT let these two birds breed. If you seriously want to breed these birds, please find a mate for each bird, that is of the same exact species as the bird (i.e. a female jenday for the male jenday|a male gold capped for the female gold capped)
