Hi Gentlemen
im having a problem with birds OUT OF CONTROL , never had so many and its mostly at the start of the fly ,im going crazy ,its the same birds of last year ,some did that at the beguining of the season and those got OK after a while ,they eat 1 big full table spoon a day of wheat milo and pea ,last year they where eating a pigeon mix and they where not like that at all but they where not spinning as much than this year,,those bids are all 40 feets deep pigeons ,and in the last two days they want a fly like only 10 min and went i feed them more they fly like an hour ,never had problem before just one or two OUT OF CONTROL birds a year,i decide to give them a few days off,i usally fly them 2 days or 3 and then a day off.....what should i do ?....today i fed them as much as they want ...and by the way they are not skinny just in shape and they fly since the end of march ....thank you .....Mario..

Mario,
You can not fly old birds every day. You have it backwards. Fly one day, then give them 2 or 3 days off.
Figure out your feed once you have them on a schedule where you only fly them two or three times per week.

My advice to you would be remove the problem birds and put them into a separate kit box.
The reason been if you are playing around with the food then you could end up messing the full kit up.
You will find it will be the odd couple that are making the rest drop early.
I would remove the first 5 that drop away from the rest.
Feed the rest there usual amount and fly them as normal.
Then ones you have done that, fly the birds you removed alone then start to mess around with food ect..
No need to mess around with birds that dont need it.
You may see an improvement.
Good look harrison uk hull.
