Birds are warmblooded just like us which means they have to maintain their body temperature. However, when it’s freezing cold in the evening how can they manage to stay warm? The answer is they cuddle together.
When birds huddled together for warmth they follow a strict rule that needs to be followed, the dominant birds will take the center position which forces the young birds to the edges where they face the chilly winds and snow alone.
