HRP were eventually 'added' into the mix of an already multi species hybrid to give them the blue coloring. Whether or not the HRP used initially were pure or not would be tough to tell. There were very few people to obtain pure strain hrp from and new pure blood has not been reintroduced to the hobby in probably 20 yrs or so. With bllod parrots being purely hybrids, along with most all convicts in the trade being hybrids with other convict-types, and most hrp in the trade also being hybrids I think the point of mixing anythign else would be mute at this point.
Thanks for clearing that up Kevin. I understand you’re saying all parrot, hrp, and convicts are genetically hybrids nowadays as pure versions of these are incredibly sparse or nonexistent.
Are you also saying that polar blues are indeed convict x blood parrot with hrp added for color? I was told by a large importer that polars are short body HRP but he could be misinformed.
By the way, I’ve no dog in this fight either Hukit. Just trying to help the OP figure out what to do with his fry…apparently, since they’re all hybrids, should be fun to see how they turn out
