- Sunny the Sun Conure (sept '18, gotcha 3/'19). Mr Jefferson Budgie & Mrs Calliope Budgie (albino) (nov'18 & jan'19). Summer 2021 Baby Budgies: Riker (Green); Patchouli, Keye, & Tiny (blue greywings).
So somewhere just recently as I was double checking whether a little OJ was gonna be safe for my Sunny, I saw something that said to LIMIT citrus due to needing to limit Vitamin C in order to prevent too much iron storage?
I had not previously seen that noted as a concern for Sun Conures.
And it's okay, Im not giving her lots of oranges.
BUT she is eating Lots of Red, Orange & Yellow Bell Peppers. She Loves them! Only I've always understood that Bell Peppers are a really good non-citrus source of Vita C. Are Bell peppers actually safe?
Does anyone know, or know where I can find, upper & lower daily limits for Vita c (& any other important nutrients) for Sun Conure?
