No. Birds only migrate if their food supply diminishes with the seasons in the area they live. Mostly insectivores migrate because the insects they eat die off during the winter.

Not all birds migrate. The more severe the climate of an area, the greater percentage of nesting birds migrate. Two-thirds of bird species found in the United States migrate, some only short distances to more southern states. Those that do migrate have adaptations not seen in their non-migratory relatives. Migratory birds can build fat stores as an energy source for long flights. Migratory birds usually have longer, more pointed wings and weigh less than related non-migratory birds.

No. not all birds migrate because it's not necessary for some species. Also, some birds do not migrate due to human intervention such as feeding ducks at a pond or other souces of food which cause the birds to stay year-round.

No. Only 'seasonal' birds do -these migratory birds do so for reasons of food, weather and reproduction.
While some birds are tolerant to conditions in a locality, others fly away to another more comfortable/suitable place for its species.

Obviously not as you will see many birds still searching for food even after snow.

No. In my area, starlings and crows are around all year. The same is for pheasants and wild turkeys.
