Is it safe for Alexandrine parrot siblings to breed and have babies?

Question

What will happen to the babies of brother and sister alexandrine parrot. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | 10 months and 8 days old

Andrea M. Brodie, DVM · Accepted Answer

This is not a problem. Brother-sister matings are non uncommon in birds and it is unlikely that there will be any genetic defects. As a matter of fact, inbreeding is often used as a way to improve or propagate certain desirable traits. Of course undesirable traits can be increased this way also, but I would not be too concerned.
