Did you know Birds don't sweat?

I have a bird bath in my yard and it always amazes me that the birds take baths when it's only 35 degrees out. Don't they feel the cold?
Once a fairly large hawk came down for a drink out of the bird bath. It was really strange to see such a large bird standing on it. Out of proportion, sort of like (silly comparison) a dinosaur drinking out of a dog bowl.
