Interspecies breeding

By Team Beauty of Birds

I have a female Cockatiel and a male Princess of Wales. They are two completely different species with the Cockatiel being a Nymphicus and the Princess of Wales being a Polytelis. I was curious if there was a chance for my male and female to mate. I keep them both together in the same very large cage. If anyone knows, I would love to hear from you. Thank you.

    There is no chance that they will successfully interbreed. They may PLAY couple, and a broody female may even lay eggs, but these would not be fertilized.
