• This means that sometimes there is well over a 100-degree difference between a chickadee’s body and the air temperature only an inch away.

• Without any feathered insulation, heat would quickly be lost and much energy wasted in attempting to keep their toes as warm as the rest of the body.

• Since they don't have crops in which they can store food to eat later, they must eat enough each day to survive the long, 18-hour night.

• They do not roost together in flocks as some birds do but spend the night alone.
