millet, and cracked corn. and i use four caps full of apple
cider vinegar per gallon in their water.

MY MOTHER USED TO TELL ME " SON ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS PUT A LITTLE
OF SALT INTO THE WATER THAT YOUR PIGEON WILL BE DRINKING JUST SO
WHEN THEY ARE LOST THEY'LL KNOW THAT THEY ARE LOST AND ARE NOT
HOME" LMAO
MARVIN ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS SPEND PLENTY OF TIME WITH YOUR BIRD
AND YOU'LL GET TO KNOW THEM...YOU AS A BEGINNER PROBABLY WILL
LOST A COUPLE OF BIRD BUT SOON TIME PASS BY YOU'LL LEARN HOW NOT
TO LOST THEM ANYMORE...LMAO

Marvin, first of all use 3 capfulls of ACV or 1 tablespoon per
gallon.
As far as feeding your birds goes measure 1 tablespoon per bird
as a starting point. If your birds don't trap right away feed
them less. If they fly for over 45 minutes it's possible your
feeding too much.
Before you release your 20 birds, you should keep them in a open
cage on top of your loft everyday so they can familiarize
themselves with the outside of the loft and they will settle in.
Before you release them, it would be a good idea to not feed
them the day before and whatever you do don't try to scare them
up for a week or so. Better yet release only a few birds at a
time while the other birds are on top of the loft in a cage.
There is nothing worse then releasing your birds and have them
fly off, only not to return :o :o :o :o .
