If you take the bird in a carrier, it's safe any time as long as the weather is reasonable for short sleeves (like 50-90 degrees F). But don't take the bird out without wearing a harness or being in a carrier because even clipped parrots have been known to fly off. Taking the bird outside from a young age is great and should be done no less than once a week when possible.
