A parrot can fly again after being put on a diet.

Bud, an Amazon green parrot, became overweight and was unable to take flight after gorging on crisps forcing his owners to put him on a diet.
Chloe Shorten had to ban the savoury snacks from her house to help the bird slim down after she got it from the RSPCA as Bud could "detect a packet of crisps being opened from four miles away".
She told BBC News: "Parrots are incredibly intelligent birds and need quite specialist care - and we certainly had our hands full when she arrived.
"While it's tricky to tell from looking when a parrot is overweight you could tell when she tried to fly, she would literally drop to the floor.
"She has the hearing of a bat and can detect a packet of crisps being opened from four miles away so it's no surprise she was overweight."
