Hi Monica,
Thankyou for the welcome and the insight on my fids.
I believe I do have 2 jendays, which I was told when I adopted them. My cousin in S Carolina thinks one is a gold cap. but I do not believe this to be so. I did not get them to breed. But would like for tweedy to have a successful batch. She is such a dedicated momma. I think I will wait until next spring to have her mate again. and will definately look up further info on the breeds. They have been chilling alot as far as mating. But now all they do is scream until I come in and give them my ut most attention. This fid thing is a lot of work. I have a lot of time on my hands since I am on the disabled list. had back surgery a yr ago and am still recovering.
As far as my husband goes he's still won't go near tweedy is petrefied of geting knawled on his neck lol. I have to laugh but it is sad. We'll give it a couple of weeks, maybe by then she will chill a bit.
My zoo occupants are as follows,
Tweedy and Sweety Jendya conures
Bruno and Tascha My Chow Chows
Mr Turtle, A red Slider
one Gekho lizard
one Eye Jack My shark
2 garamies, assorted Fancy Gold fish
One large Pacu, One large Oscar
Assortment of Tropical Fish.
and oh of course my Betta fish.and two underwater frogs.
Chow
Donna
Attached is a pic of my fids

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)
