Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chickadees do not reduce their metabolism in the winter. Instead, they increase their metabolism to generate more heat to stay warm. They reduce heat loss by reducing convection (fluffing up feathers to create an insulating layer of air), reducing radiation (by using darker feathers that absorb more sunlight), and reducing evaporation (by roosting in protected areas and not losing as much water through respiration).
