I've seen pictures. But I definitely wouldn't advocate it.

No No No!!! I dont want to do it. One of my mates wants to house them together and wont if there is any chance they could cross breed. I didnt think it was possible but just wanted to check with the experts

I had it happen once, have also had them cross with Plumheads, but both only ever did it once, & were spare birds not removed from the breeding aviaries. If you have them paired there shouldn't be any trouble.

Did see a picture once if the cross bred young, I don't think they will if kept in pairs but if there's any spare always a chance. I think your mate will be fine with them together if equal male and females of each speices are in the aviery.
