To escape harsh cold conditions, birds show adaptations like:

  • High body temperature.
  • Some birds migrate to warmer places.
  • Some birds hibernate or sleep during winter months and reach torpor state to conserve heat and energy.
  • Feathers provide good insulation and warmth during extremely cold conditions.  
  • Some birds are with feathers with a special oil coating that provides insulation and acts as a waterproof covering.  
  • Some birds fluff up their "feathers to create air pockets" which provide insulation.
  • Some birds take high amounts of fat to increase their fat content or reserves which produces more heat and energy.  
  • Some are provided with scales on the "feet and legs" which prevents heat loss. So these birds stand on one "leg or tuck" in their feet and legs into the feathers to keep them warm.
  • Some shiver to increase their metabolic rate to increase body temperature.
  • Certain birds flock tightly together to keep themselves warm.
