Little Corella body with a crest . The pink/orange may have come from the Corella side .
Soooo that leaves Majors , Cockies , Galahs and Quarrion .

Yep I beleive the first one recorded happened by accident , since then greedy bird keepers are trying to imitate the mating .

How many Quarrion have or will be injured or killed in this experiment ...I actually have friends ( now very estranged ) trying to do the same thing .

Yeah... I really don't think they should be encouraged... They are interesting, but don't try it.. I also sometimes wonder why Mutations appeal to people. Maybe it's just me being a birder, and thinking the naturals look nicer...
