## Abstract Surgical removal of pineal glands from adult male European Starlings (__Sturnus vulgaris__) does not alter circadian perchβhopping activity rhythms characteristic of this species maintained in constant darkness. The average freeβrunning period of the activity rhythms of ten pinealectomi
Although pinealectomy or blinding resulted in loss of the clarity of the free-running rhythm of locomotor activity and body temperature and reduced the peak level of circulating melatonin rhythms to approximately a half in intact pigeons, neither pinealectomy nor blinding abolished any of these rhyt
