good advice....
have lined up my mother to adopt the little buggers!
they are cute and she is happy to have them as company only-no nest boxes.

To answer your question, I would expect hybrids between such unrelated species to be infertile.

thanks madhatter for the reply,
hope u are right.

I've calmed down now after my first rant but putting them on display at Endevour Park is still an option. You could take a picture when they mature and submit it to ABK as they often have a hybrid highlighted. I agree that they will probably be sterile but you never know until it's tested and some things shouldn't be.

would be sterile. not close enough in relation to be fertile like the munias , the masks and blackhearts as such......pete
