It was down in to the 20's here in Phoenix this morning and one lovely little Anna's Hummingbird was so stunned by the cold that I was able to reach up and pet her while she sat on our feeder. I saw her a few minutes ago and she has recovered.
Digesting food helps birds to keep warm during the winter so please put lots of food out for them now. We have regular wild bird food out all the time and then every day I take the seed that my parrots didn't eat from the day before and put it out for the doves and quail. They love it!

Some more then others. That's why a lot of birds fly south.
The birds that stay have thick layers of feathers that are insulated with oil to keep them warm. They also build cozy nests and huddle together.

Depends on the species...their feathers protect them...each species adapts in a different way...

Yes they do but they adapt and they fluff up which helps.
