Rollers finally trained, but theres a problem.

Hello guys i have a small kitbox in which i keep 4 rollers at
the moment. After losing a few birds in my first attempt of
training them, i then used the soaping method which worked
really well.
Now the problem is when i let them out, they just sit on my shed
or a nearby tree. When i throw a tennis ball at them, they then
fly in large circles for around 5 or 10 seconds and they land on
a tree again. I have not seen any of them roll so far but this
may be because they are only around 4 months old.
I had them on half feed but now ive increased it to full feed as
i thought this may be the problem but nothing has changed. I
feed them half milo half wheat, just over 3oz for all 4 birds.
I am really happy they are all trained very well, soon as i
shake the feed can they come down straight away and into the
trap. But i would just love them to fly properly, can anyone
please give me some advice please. Thank you.

Hey driver_hr
I do not think that is enough food for young birds. At four
months, I would let them have all they can eat shortly after
trapping and then pull the feed for that day. If this does not
get them up and flying start taking them down the street but in
sight of the house to release them, go a little father each time
until they are flying. If they still do not want to fly, as soon
as they try to settle back down, drive them up again. Give them
no peace and eventually they will fly but don't expect them to
roll until they are older. each family will start
rolling,flipping,trying to learn at a different pace. My birds
do not usually come into the roll until they are at least six
months old.
Hope this helps
Take care
Thom
