The concentration of plasma triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), corticosterone, and glucose as well as body weight and food intake were measured in pairs of ring doves throughout a breeding cycle and during food deprivation. During courtship and incubation the levels of plasma T4 were significantly higher in males than in females. A transitory decrease in food intake in both sexes was measured at the onset of incubation but was not associated with a change in body weight or in levels of plasma thyroid hormones. After the eggs had hatched, food intake increased but was associated with a reduction in body weight and concentrations of plasma T3 and T4, although plasma corticosterone and glucose both increased. Food deprivation for 48 hr resulted in a significant fall in the concentration of plasma T3 and an increase in plasma corticosterone. These changes suggest that all the food was not being digested by the adult birds during brooding but was almost exclusively regurgitated to feed the squabs.
