Curious to know why you would want to feed it?

Too much fats are certainly very bad for birds as their livers cannot cope
with it and can cause fatal conditions. Before that surplus fats are laid
down inside teh bird as very hard deposits which can get in the way of
normal body function including the movement of eggs inside.

It does have some useful qualities for particular circumstances but you have
to be very careful that there aren't other high fat sources in their diet.
