Is sunshine exposure still good early or late in the day?

The temperature is getting hotter here and too uncomfortable to take the guys out near noon. Is it as beneficial to take them out early or late in the day when it is cooler? I want to make sure to provide them with UV for their calcium levels.

Take your bird outside into an area where there's partial sunlight and partial shade in a certain area and the amount of time doesn't have to be long. In the wild, parrots go into a shady area when the sun is at the highest and hottest. It still remains hot but the shade protects them. That all you have to do. That applies to all wild birds no matter what kind. Usually, in the very early afternoon to the later part of that afternoon, almost all birds disappear for a while and come back out when the weather is more tolerable. A parrot doesn't need a long time out in the sun and if yoiur bird is in an area where it can walk into the shadier part of the area, you'll see him doing that.

I guess it doesn't matter when during the day you take your birds out for some sunshine just make sure they have some shade they can get into if they get too hot but in the summer it might be better to do it either early morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the hottest part of the day.
