Mini Macaw Hybrids?

Does anyone know if there are mini macaw hybrids? I'm assuming they could be possible, but I've never heard of one before.
Thanks!

Hahns and Nanday, too.... supposedly also with Jenday (but doesn't appear to be).

Besides those hybrids I can't think of any... but I'm sure they are out there.

Considering the new reclassification and reason of it of the Hahns and Noble... I can see hybridizing happening with Conures. But, whyever would anyone want to Hybridize minis? They'd get..

Hey! Green birds.

Illigers x Hahns? Green bird
Noble x YCM? Green bird
Hahns x Severe? Green bird with 'tude
YCM x Severe? Green bird!!!
etc. etc. etc.

I love my little Dave and he is entirely devoted to me but I can't think of a reason you would want to add 'Hahns' to any other parrot.

Considering the Galah x Tiel.... it's very possible (I assume) to get some *not so green* and *not so mini* hybrid mini macaws.

However, I'm *NOT* going to try it!
