I Always Wondered What Wild Birds Do During Storms

I know this is a parrot blog but I like to put in some information about other birds, too, including wild birds.

I always wondered what wild birds do during a storm or extreme cold weather.

 Where do the birds go for protection during severe weather such as blizzards, hurricanes, and tornadoes?

Birds have an amazing ability to find refuge from storms, but they do it in a variety of ways, depending on the species and the bird's natural habitat.

Bluebirds, for example, often winter as far north as New England. They find protection against the cold and storms by communal roosting, often in a bird house. There are photographs of 13 male eastern bluebirds, all crowded into one bluebird house. This behavior shares warmth, and keeps the birds out of the wind, rain and snow.
