Default Sunburn?

Now that the weather is finally getting nicer, I have gotten into the habit of daily taking the fids outside. They have shade, of course. However, because Lucy is still a little sparse in some areas (her rump and crop areas particularly), I am concerned about her getting sunburned. She loves to sit in the sun all day long! It is seemingly improving her feather quality, but is she at risk for injury?

They can get sunburned Dominique. It's probably best she stays shaded the majority of the time.

Edited to add: We have to be careful with the Macs because their bare facial patches can burn easily.

Yes, I knew that the mac's faces are easily burned. I always try to keep them in a shaded area anyways with a towel over part of their cage so they can go in and out of the sun. I will be sure to keep Lucy out of the sun the majority of the time. Thank you Karen!
