Conure ate sour candy

[Puki]

this sounds really dumb, but a bag of sourpatch kids was left out and little sebastian naturally found his way into it while i wasnt paying attention. I know parrots can have a little bit of sugar and be fine but its the malic acid im worried about. I haven't found anything about parrots eating the same candy. Has anyone else delt with this or know if he's going to be fine

Sorry to know Sebatian ate a bit too much candy, chances are he will be OK. What species and age is he? Malic acid is a naturally occurring substance in many fruits as opposed to something not normally consumed. If you have serious doubts, please call an avian certified vet for guidance as none of us are qualified to make medical judgements. In the meantime, maintaining normal diet and fluid intake is best.
