Actually, I read somewhere recently that this is a common misconception....most animals can survive suprisingly well in lower temperatures--at least warm blooded animals have a natural ability to adapt to much lower temperatures than previously thought.
The concern is about how fast this happens. Sudden cold can be shocking to any creature's system.
The best judge is yourself. Your natural body temperature isn't ridiculously different for your birds. If it's brisk for you, it's going to be cooler for them.....if you need to button up your overcoat, they shouldn't be out with you.
Actually, I read that somewhere too....If you're chilly, your bird is, if you're not, they'll be fine. ^^
Edit: Which honestly makes sense because we only have bare skin and they have feathers AND a higher body temperature to keep them more-toasty. ^^
