Due to the cooling climate, suruds develop thicker "fur" coating that helps them protect themselves against the cold. When the weather cools down, these fuzzy suruds gather into their nests and pile up, vibrating their wing muscles rapidly in order to generate heat that is then trapped within their fluff. Even when out in the cold weather, the fuzz of the suruds helps them maintain enough bodyheat for relatively active hunting and foraging. This allows them to seek food even during the cold season, where they face less competition from their relatives.

During extremely cold times, the suruds will descend to a semi hibernation like state, where their activity slows down significantly, and they no longer leave their nest. They instead spend most of their time in sleep like state, relying on the insulating nest structure, their fuzz and the steady vibrations of their wings to keep them from freezing.

During warmer seasons, the excess fuzz is shed off, and used as construction material for their nests.
