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:

SizePer DayPer WeekPer 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
