Does the Mourning Dove get cold feet?

The backyard birds are leaving lots of tracks in the light snow we've had so far this winter.   But do they get cold feet?   The answer is no because there is no soft tissue in their feet and warm circulating blood, in their arteries, enters their feet, becomes cool, but warms up again as it goes back, through veins, into the warm, feathered body.

Please comment if you wish.
