"My name is Joseph Shung Chiang Lee. I am a member of the Calcutta Racing Pigeon Club. The birds are released about 6:30 in the morning. They fly and they do exercise and after that exercise, they are allowed to rest for about half an hour and then they are put back into the loft. They are fed light breakfast, little bit. The main feed is given in the evening time like about 4:00 and all that. That is the time they are given the full feed and then of course in addition, we give grits. The grits are made up of grinded bricks charcoal, the caught fish that bones they are grinded up, some egg shells, even rock salt, sand is mixed with it. These are to help them digest their food and to give them some minerals supplements. Of course, some people do give some mineral supplements powder that we get from the poultry farm and all that. Like during the racing time we always add in the drinking water electrolytes or maybe glutens or glucose water that we make and give to them. "
