Participant Photo: Puffing up like a feather ball is how Blue Jays must stay warm in below zero…which it is right now!
We get flocks of Blue Jays and when it’s cold they all sit in a tree and puff up like big round balls to keep warm obviously. Hope it works because birds must be very tough to handle such bitter cold temps.

Do woodpeckers do this as well? I have a very fat looking woodpecker in Winter.. Hopefully it is not a bloating issue
