Inside the BST Bird Boarding Space: A Complete Tour

Inside the BST Boarding Space
BST boards birds from our home, providing a warm, residential environment for your bird's stay. Our dedicated boarding space is purpose-designed for avian care and comfort.
Layout & Space
- A finished basement dedicated exclusively to bird boarding
- Separate dedicated play area for supervised out-of-cage time with toys, perches, and enrichment
- Open and social bird suite — birds can see and hear their temporary neighbors
- Zero door and window escape risk — the boarding space is fully enclosed with no direct exterior access. BST has never had an escapee
Want to see the space? Watch our introductory video on YouTube or check out walkthrough videos on our channel. Samantha may also share a Google Drive link with a personal walkthrough of the boarding space.
Safety & Supervision
Your bird's safety is our top priority. The bird suite is a social environment where birds get natural exposure to other birds nearby — they can see and hear their temporary neighbors, which most birds find enriching and comforting.
- Birds only let out together if: owner approves AND birds are similar size AND cooperative AND have up-to-date vet records
- Aggressive birds receive separate out-of-cage time
- AI bird detection system monitors overnight and when staff aren't present — designed to detect cage escapes
- Certain species managed selectively to minimize injury risk
- Zero escape risk — no exterior doors or windows in the boarding space
Enrichment & Stimulation
- Variety of perches, swings, and toys available in the play area
- Foraging opportunities provided during out-of-cage time
- Social interaction with BST staff throughout the day
- Background music creates a calm, stimulating environment
- Every bird is engaged with individually — not just housed
Food & Water
- Fresh water provided and changed multiple times daily
- Your bird's own food is used — we follow your feeding instructions exactly
- Fresh fruits and vegetables offered as supplements (unless instructed otherwise)
- BST Chop (Parrot's Plate) available as an add-on for premium fresh meals
