Hi Steve,
I suspect the dominant male will both spawn with both females, and kill
the other male. They will fight, and in the confines of a 20, somebody
will get killed. There will be nowhere for the weaker male to escape to.
In a worst case scenario, both will be injured in the fight, and both
will die...
All selected forms of cacatuoides will interbreed.
