My dowel use centers on birds roosting outside in wind. Being in a building at -30 F will be similar to what my birds endure without frost bite to toes. Feathers on abdomen cover toes completely when birds roosting with all types of roosts. Birds on round roosts less likely to be dislodged by high winds. Try climbing a tree with barefeet and hands, then try climbing something made dimensional lumber where edges support much of your weight. You will notice a different on comfort level birds likely appreciate as well.
