What's your opinion on hybrids?

I have a hybrid: a harlequin macaw and he is the sweetest thing in the world. However disregarding individual traits, I read online a while ago somewhere I forgot about how some people think hybrid animals are not good for the preservation of individual species, especially when they are endangered (some examples are liger/tigon, jaglion, buffons/red fronted/blue throated macaw x any other macaw, Sunday conure, yellow nape/red crowned/yellow headed/lilac crowned Amazon x any other compatible bird, etc). I can understand when it's an endangered species and we need to keep the population pure and stable but otherwise have no bad opinion on it lol

Just wondering what you guys think. Are they an abomination or people just overthinking it?

The day I realized he was faking being dependent 💀

This guy had been on hand feeding for over a year 😭 I had an idea since I also seen him eating his pellets and veggies and just ignored his "I'm hungry feed me" honks and sure enough this guy stopped asking for formula after a couple days... What a spoiled bum lol
