A high metabolic rate warms the animal from within, and insulation (such as fur and body fat) slows heat loss. Birds for example are warm-blooded animals that have high metabolism. During the winter, how do birds keep their body warm? The answers are found in their parts, their feathers, legs and feet, and their behavior like fluffing, shivering and roosting. How do their feathers, legs and feet help them regulate their body temperature? How do fluffing, shivering and roosting regulate bird's body temperature?
