vhawk,
This is just how I do it. I feed my birds approx 1 Tablespoon of 50/50 wheat milo mix per bird. I fly at first light due to the heat here. I feed after they fly, I do wait approx 5 to 10 minutes after they trap to feed so they have time to cool down some. So this means they are flown 24 hours after being fed so they will be ready to eat again and trap quickly. I did play around with 1/2 ration feedings twice a day, but it did not work well for me.

hey Vhawk,you need to find the balance between to little and to much feed,play around with the amount of feed you giving.and you will get it right.

as soon as they know you home you can feed them more, then you can find out the
correct amount for your birds.
