Beautiful Birds Fun in Rain
When it rains, whether it’s a heavy downpour or even a light shower, you may notice that there are fewer birds about.
The birds that do remain out in the open can look very soggy, but they have evolved remarkably well to weather storms.
To keep warm, birds trap tiny pockets of air under their feathers, which is why a down coat or duvet is so toasty. However, when their feathers get wet, the pockets of air can fill up with water, and a bird’s temperature can drop rapidly, putting it at risk of hypothermia. Small birds have a higher surface-to-volume ratio than larger birds, which means they lose heat more quickly. They also have smaller energy reserves and will therefore start to feel cold sooner.
Birds’ feathers are fairly waterproof, and rain tends to hit the surface and roll away without being absorbed into their skin. In light showers, you will see birds fluff up their feathers to keep warm, while in heavy rain, they will flatten down their feathers to make them even more water-resistant.
