“…In addition Nalbandov & Card (1945) have induced with prolactin full parental care of chicks in the domestic hen while similar results have been claimed for the Pheasant (Crispens 1956) and Wild Turkey (Crispens 1957).…”

“…Brooding activity in birds was first demonstrated to be dependent on prolactin by Riddle et al (1935). Crispens (1956) used prolactin to produce broody behavior in pheasants. Crispens (1956) used prolactin to produce broody behavior in pheasants.…”

“…The possibility that stimuli from the young exert similar effects in birds has not been directly investigated despite evidence implicating prolactin involvement in avian parental behaviour (Nalbandov «fe Card, 1945;Lehrman, 1955;Crispens, 1956). Studies on environmental control of prolactin secretion in many avian species have been hampered by the lack of discrete changes in target organs during the parental phase of the breeding cycle and by the lack of sensitive assay techniques for measuring biologically active avian prolactin.…”

Prolactin Release in Parent Ring Doves After Brief Exposure to Their Young

A pigeon crop sac radioreceptor assay was used to measure changes in pituitary prolactin levels in parent ring doves of both sexes on the third day after hatching of their young. After a deprivation of 17 h from the squabs, exposure to a 3-day-old squab for 1 h resulted in a significant decrease in the prolactin content of the pituitary gland as compared with levels obtained in control birds deprived of their young for 18 h. No significant sex differences in prolactin levels were observed in either group. Because exposure to the young also promotes prolactin-induced crop sac growth, it appears probable that the squab-induced decrease in prolactin content of the pituitary gland reflects the release of prolactin into the circulation. Accordingly, the environmental regulation of prolactin secretion in parent ring doves appears similar to that observed in lactating mammals.
