Endotherms use internally generated heat to maintain body temperature. Their body temperature tends to stay steady regardless of environment.
Ectotherms depend mainly on external heat sources, and their body temperature changes with the temperature of the environment.

An ectotherm (reptile/amphibian) relies primarily on its external environment to regulate the temperature of its body. Endotherms (birds) are able to regulate their body temperatures by producing heat within the body.
