Hybrid Birds

Hybrid birds are very rare in the wild but occasionally occur in captivity. This is especially so where a mixed collection of birds is housed in a single aviary without the competition of same-species partners.

In continental Europe breeding of hybrid birds is gaining in popularity particularly with Canary x Finch crosses. Amongst the most popular birds in this category are the Coloured Canaries.
