Yeah, pull the ones that bring them up out and fly them separate. They are usually the last to land or last to come back down from the clouds. If all else fails, pull out the strong looking birds.
If they are young birds, then it might be due to them coming into the roll. That is a good thing that they fly high during this time.

Milan,
You have your birds to strong and fly fit.
You need to rest them and put some fat on em and start a new feed regimen in about a week or your going to have an overfly.....gone.
You never gave any info on how many you fly or what you feed.
We all feed our birds differently to make the different strains or familys work.

Steve that was my thoughts exactly. Way too often you hear somebody say cut the feed and they will come down. That is not always true. Especially if they are fit. Handle the birds and if they feel like a piece of balsa wood they are too fit and need some fat put back on them. That is why you always hear of the great fliers building them up and then breaking them down right befor the fly. JMHO.

My birds were flying high and long i cut the feed down and they got light and flew higher because they were too light ,then they flew low because of hunger so i do what i always do stop flying them let them be just birds fed them mix all they want ...next day one and half of what i gave them ...next day half and so and so until i put weight on them .then back to drawing board .but all the time i make sure i take the corn out that makes them go high...
