To be honest George, the weaned youngsters need to be trained to the call of food, So shaking the tin before feeding gets them in the loft routine of feeding, so when they are flying around the loft. The shake of the tin lets them know it is feeding time. This will help the youngsters when they go to the new owner.

I leave food down all the time but use a clicker when doing it so they recognise clicker means food

I will leave food in front of them all day when first weaned. Taken away at night. But once eating readily, after about a week, the feed is taken away after a few minutes.

I quite agree.
If they are big enough to be on the floor, they are big enough to start learning the ropes.
