Deann, that depends on what you mean.... do you mean colony breeding ringnecks and quakers together? Or hybridizing quakers and ringnecks?

I've heard that supposedly the first albino quaker was a hybrid ringneck/quaker.... however I don't know how true it is, and I wouldn't necessarily want to know either by someone else trying to hybridize them (since it is highly frowned upon)... Besides I kind of doubt that hybridization could occur since ringnecks originate from Africa or India and quakers from South America.

As for colony breeding the two... well I don't really know... Quakers are the only parrots that build nests... and they build colony nests... i.e. they have a nursery room, a sleeping room, a lounge room, etc... all built out of sticks... where-as I believe ringnecks are cavity nesters, meaning that they nest in tree holes...
