Yeah, but what do they eat in the winter months when everything is frozen for months?
We have a lot of sparrows around here in winter - considerably farther north than you. They eat seeds. Feathers are well-suited to cold weather, airtight on the outside and down-filled on the inside.

We have nuthatches in winter too. When they fly south, they come here.
