How do little birds stay warm in winter?

I live in Ottawa, Canada and it gets well below freezing here, with snow and ice. Yet I see little birds hopping and flitting around, apparently not caring that it’s cold. They’re scarcely bigger than a golf ball – how do they stay warm?
No, I mean little birds, not baby birds. Like little finches.

Some little birds have evolved natural insulation so they don’t have to migrate. Others have learned to take shelter and hunker down through the worst of the cold and come out when the temperature is tolerable.

Since most buildings have heat leakage and crannies on the roofs, canopies, etc., there are plenty of places for these birds to seek refuge. Usually the first cold snap will see some die who didn’t choose wisely, but after that few birds die from the cold.

Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada $46.2 Anna Jameson (1794 1860) was an inspirational figure to a generation of young women writers and artists including Barbara Bodichon and Bessie Rayner Parkes. Her work was reviewed by leading figures such as Mary Shelley and Charles Kingsley, and even Carlyle, though less complimentary, referred to her as the celebrated Mrs Jamieson. This book, first published in 1838, secured her growing reputation as a writer of history, literary criticism and travel literature, and has been popular ever since. Inspired by a journey made to support the career of her estranged husband, one of its key themes is the condition of women, which recurs regularly in Jamesons writing. Volume 2 describes the arrival of summer, and Jamesons experiences of landscapes, towns and people from Niagara to Detroit. It includes reflections on Schiller, emigration, and the Canadian infrastructure.
