No flight = fatty liver

This is meant for humans but taking into consideration the fact that birds need more exercise than humans, that clipped birds get NO exercise whatsoever and that all captive birds are prone to fatty liver because of the inadequate diet we feed them, I think the link between inactivity and the disease is even more significant for them!
