Snakes move sluggishly on cold days because their muscle activity depends on chemical reactions to work and these chemical reaction run tend to run slowly when it is cold. Unlike snakes, most birds are warm blooded. This means that they convert the food they eat to energy which fuels their constant body temperature and allows them to be warm, even on a cold day.
