I've just ordered my phone number rings for the birds just in case I have an escape somewhere along the line.

Jack when you say 30-35grams per day is this for each bird mate only it doesn't look a lot when I weigh it out sorry for being a bit green on this mate

That's great news, Tony.
They will love their new home, I'm sure. I have a feeling they are going to be a very well cared for bunch of youngsters.
Try not to worry too much, young pigeons are very resilient, you can't do them much harm. It they get a tiny bit too much feed or something it's not going to hurt them.
The fun begins!

Hi Tony, I hope you are having a lot of fun with your baby pigeons.

I never feed pigeons on the floor. I could spend an hour scraping a sweeping, it's still the floor.
I always feed them in trays or troughs, and clean them when they start looking a bit ordinary.
I'm not obsessive, but if you wonder if you would eat your dinner off it?
