“…These studies indicate that the thyroid gland is linked to the process of pigmentation in birds, but the mechanism of its action is not understood. Various aspects of the problem have been discussed by Domm and Blivaiss (1944) and Blivaiss (1947).…”

“…In a small number of birds the denuded areas failed to regenerate new feathers up to the end of the experiments. Blivaiss (1946, p. 99) similarly concluded, speaking of his thyroidectomized birds, "...a marked reduction of feather growth rates..." Thiouracil-induced hypothyroidism also caused retarded growth rates (Domm and Blivaiss, 1944;Domm and Blivaiss, 1946;Domm and Blivaiss, 1948).…”
