Detailed explanation-1: -Torpor. While many animals hibernate during winter, some species of birds go into torpor. This hibernation-like state allows birds to lower their body temperature and heart rate to conserve body heat. Like hibernation, it helps them to survive the cold temperatures of winter.
Detailed explanation-2: -Birds remain silent and hide in the winter. It is because they don’t feel comfortable in the cold weather. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-3: -Many birds fly south for the winter, leaving Canada for warmer climates. Genetics also give these animals a leg up, as many birds and mammals grow more fur and feathers in the winter to insulate warmth and undergo torpor by dropping their body temperatures a few degrees to reduce heat loss.
