Releasing my pigeons for the first time

I want to let my pigeons out for the first time and wanted to know if I should feed them less or not at all before I let them out?

From what I've read it is better not to feed them before you let them out.

Well, they should. Good luck.

BTW, how long have you had them?

I would also advise letting them out about an hour before sunset, this is an additional tool to keep them close by. If not, then they may be out all day.
