I can't think of any birds that hibernate. In fact with their metabolism I don't know how they could.
Maybe you meant migrate, however, the answer is still no
Dying off? Some do some don't. Of course it depends on the harshness of the winter. Occasionally an entire local population will be killed during a winter, it happened where I grew up in the Mid West during the blizzard of 1978. But they're back and strong as ever now.

We have wild turkeys up here in north Idaho, and they are here in the winter, in the snow. They rove around in bands of 10-20, foraging for food, usually grass and seeds under the snow. They seem comfortable enough.

On our family ranch the wild turkeys really don't do anything different. They do go to roost earlier in the evening. If it's raining heavily or snowing (what little we get) they will stay at their roost most of the day. They don't hibernate.
