Not this particular one, but my hybrid probably will since Deroptyus and Pionites are sister genera. With more distant hybrids one parentage usually dominates the other. Hopefully the Flame-Crested Parrot (Deroptyus accipitrinus × Pionites melanocephalus) will have a more even phenotype.

The general rule is the more distant genetically, the lesser prospect for fertility and viability. Though I suspect the Flame-Crested Parrot idea might be more vigorous and possibly fertile than either parent as born from fairly close relatives.

That's true. It's honestly great to have a naturalist girlfriend. You should entertain this hobby even a little because it's truly precious what is around us, even the mutt Starlings.

Yeah I do love nature, it's the only good thing in this shithole. I do like ravens tho I feel like they are conscious and can understand humans but can't communicate

Ravens just aren't visually appealing enough to tame really. Shame but that is truly an instance where taboo (This time a Germanic Pagan one associated with foresight) is still active.
