I’ve always assumed that in a bird’s diet, it takes the place of insects. Most seed-eating birds also eat a fair amount of insects, so they get their fat calories and nutrients from fat from a well-mixed diet. And insects in general are harder to find and eat in the winter, especially in non-wild habitats. So it makes sense. Does it make the same kind of sense for a sasquatch or yeti? Who knows? But it seems like an arguable point, and the concept is funny.
