They have measured the crop-sac response of pigeons so closely that it serves as a quantitative test for prolactin in samples sent there by other laboratories.

Dr. Schooley has worked out a pituitary removal technique for pigeons, going in through the pharynx at the back of the throat, which leaves the back lobe of the gland intact so that almost all the birds survive the operation...
