Yous should try looking the juveniles and try and tell which is which 😂 I do have a picture of Slaty near a female plummie I'll try and find that for you :)
I love king parrots too. Honestly I have too many favourites. To simplify it I always put budgies first, then let's say Slaty-headed parakeets, and Red-tailed black cockatoos 😊. There's so many more but the list would be a mile long if I kept going...
Budgies are parakeets but parakeets aren't technically budgies ;)
Lots of people don't know/understand that. I have six parakeets but only five budgies 😊
I also love talking about birds, budgies in particular are just a small obsession of mine 😅
I did not say they're the same. I said hybrid within a family are much more likely and possible, take Macaw hybrids for example. Cockatiels are apart of the Cacatuidae (cockatoo) family, but yes do still have they own genus. Galahs have different genus to white cockatoos, as do some of the black...
A cockatiel is technically a cockatoo, so yes hybrids with them are possible.
I've yet to actually see evidence of this hybrid, though I think they would be more plausible then a budgie x cockatiel.
Highly doubtful.
The snake example cannot be compared to this pair because even though they are separate species they still belong to the same taxonomic family. There are parrot hybrids from similar, Hahn's macaw X Sun conure, both species have the same taxonomic family, Psittacidae.
Budgies and...
