Boarding Multiple Birds: A Guide for Multi-Bird Households

Boarding Multiple Birds
If you have more than one bird, boarding logistics can get a bit more complex. Here's everything you need to know about boarding multiple birds at BST.
How Pricing Works
Each bird is quoted individually based on its size category:
| Size | Per Day | Per Week | Per Month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | $14.75 | $90 | $360 |
| Medium | $19.75 | $120 | $480 |
| Large | $24.75 | $150 | $600 |
| XL | $29.75 | $180 | $720 |
The quotation calculator automatically applies the best rate combination for each bird's stay.
Cage Arrangements
- Bonded pairs that live together at home can share a cage at BST
- Separate cages are available for birds that need their own space
- Cage rental is available if you don't want to transport multiple cages
- Let BST know your cage arrangement preferences when booking
Out-of-Cage Time
- Birds from the same household are typically given out-of-cage time together
- This is especially important for bonded pairs who may become stressed if separated
- If your birds don't get along, separate out-of-cage times can be arranged
- All interactions are supervised by experienced BST staff
Packing for Multiple Birds
- Label food separately for each bird, especially if they have different diets
- Identify each bird — if you have multiple birds of the same species, use leg bands or descriptions
- Share any social dynamics — let BST know which birds get along and which need separation
- Medication — clearly label which medication belongs to which bird
Daily Updates
All your birds will be featured in your daily updates. You'll see each bird individually during their out-of-cage time, ensuring you know every member of your flock is happy and healthy.
Transport Tips
- Use separate carriers for birds that don't share a cage
- Secure all carriers properly in the vehicle
- Consider the BST Avian Shuttle for large flocks — professional handlers can manage multiple birds safely
