Feeding twice a day in by no means a must but if you have the time I would recommend you feed twice a day. The biggest drawback by feeding once a day is getting them to put in good exercise periods.
is it a must to feed twice a day as most threads on here mention it as i only feed once is this a bad thing any advice would be appreciated
Don't for one minute worry about it etc , if your birds are good enough ???????? you can be as good as those that feed their birds twice a day in my view. In fact !!!!!!! in my area it's quite normal for many flyers to only feed once a day, because we race in winter & for many flyers here, they go to work in the dark & then come home in the dark for much of the season etc, so that's the simplist way of solving this issue for them. Also for those that tend to feed to much at times, I believe it can be much healthier for the birds, only having that one feed a day etc, as they empty there system out so to speak on a regular basis & they are always keen when the next feed comes around, for what I have seen & learnt. Enjoy.

i dont think its a bad thing,, there are many who feed once a day , many who hopper feed ,many 2 or three times , so theres many ways,, but if a bird is hungry when let out to excercise , it probably wont fly too long , so maybe try letting them out with a little food in them
I feed twice a day during the racing season as I feel it's important to have control over the birds, I also feed the yb's as much as they want twice a day while they are growing. During the off season I feed once per day.
