Yeah pretty much. Exept with Modelo instead of Corona

No idea what Modelo is, I don't drink haven't in 5-6yrs. Got a bit of white lightning and honey if I need it that's as far as it goes for me these days.

Now you guys out there that have known folks to actually test birds how's your/their keep month prior?

I've been told one way no need to doubt the fella. No need to answer if you don't want to no ones got a gun to your head, figured it'd be a nice conversation related to gamefowl.

I was advised the following... and I always feed once a day anyhow at 3-4pm and skip a day.

Week1- Tomatoes,egg whites, white rice, apple sauce and a tea spoon of feed. To clean em out.

Week 2- Regular feed and amount.

Weekprior to test- add fruit, bit of vinegar and whole milk to feed not a lot but enough.

Day of- feed 2-3oz of regular feed that morning till 1-2pm then 3-5pellets every hour or so before.

Seems crazy specific...

I am guessing like human athletes, there will be different requirements for each person/bird... and different requirments for each type of sport

when I fought or wrestled I was told never to drink milk before a fight. But eat only carbs and fats (good fats, like olive oil) in the morning and fruit right before the fight...

I personally wouldn't change their diet. I wouldn't want to risk something not agreeing with them. That's a drastic change from the norm. They're under enough physical stress I wouldn't want to add to it. that's just me. I know everyone else does stuff like you say.
