Just spoke with someone at the property about a studio. I own two birds, a lovebird and a cockatiel, and was asking about the pet policy. Do not be fooled by their misleading ad here. They told me dogs are not even allowed in the studios, which they fail to specify. So if you're hoping that you found a pet-friendly studio, unfortunately that is not the case. And instead of just getting back and informing me that they do not allow caged animals, she started off with a very curt tone, and said
...while they sometimes make exceptions, they don't usually do so for 'noisy' birds like cockatiels. She then went on at length about how the studios are close together and it would not be conducive to my birds spending all day there "chattering". When I pointed out that I felt like she was making assumptions, she said in the same curt tone, "You know what? In that case I'm just going to say that right now our policy doesnt allow caged animals". First of all, you can cage a dog or cat, and a caged animal is less likely to do damage, so I dont see what the issue is there. Second, while birds like lovebirds and cockatiels can be talkative, they are too small for their voices to project the way a larger species like a Cockatoo or Macaw can, or even a cat or dog. I've owned birds for over 25 years and know well how loud they can and cannot be. I've been renting for 4 years with these animals and never received a noise complaint, which I also told her. While this is not the first time I've come across places that don't allow birds(but will allow dogs and cats that can pee on carpeting), I've never encountered someone who was so rude about it.
