Due to the fact that 2 parrot breeders rarely get along and nearly never share information with eachother, it has taken a long time for me to realize something, and now I'm on a long research road to fully understand it's application with regards to hybrid macaws....
In 1929 a biologist came up with a theory....
Haldanes law
Part 1 Hybrid Infertility
Part 2 Hybrid Inviability
This law covers a lot of information, and I just spent $600 on a book to better understand the genetic specifics (thank God for my 2 years of majoring in Genetics...lol)
I stumbled upon this when I was trying to figure out why more than 90% of Harlequin macaws are male. I am planning on talking to Dr. Scott Macdonald about his findings on the subject when I see him again next month.... including some questions regarding what type of organ is on the left side of the birds body cavity, etc...
I know it applies because it covers the preference of the homogametic sex (in birds that's the male), it also states that the heterogametic sex will have a high morphology and a shorter expected lifespan because of such.
It will take forever to post all my findings so far, but I will post info as I understand it better.
