    bird feathers are hollow and layered to provide excellent insulation. They utilize a combination of a remarkable physical structure, layering, and secreted oils to also provide a waterproof umbrella.

    This combo lets birds be comfortable in gentle rain even at very low temperatures.

    their very light bone structure means heavy rain makes things difficult for birds by and they will usually seek shelter in heavy rain or hail or other bad weather.
