At Meridian, our Bird Removal Technicians—commonly known as BRTs—are the heart of our operation. They are the professionals who respond when a bird finds its way into your commercial facility, and they represent the standards and values we’ve built our company on.
Unlike companies that rely on subcontractors or 1099 labor, every BRT at Meridian is a W2 employee. We never outsource bird capture. This structure allows us to uphold our strict training standards and ensure every customer receives consistent, professional service. When you call Meridian, you’re working with someone we’ve carefully vetted, trained, and invested in.
Our commitment to quality begins with a careful and detailed recruitment strategy. We’re not simply looking for someone who can catch a bird—we’re seeking individuals who align with our core values:
- Eagerly Optimistic
- Humbly Confident
- Adapt and Overcome
- Commitment to Capture
- Be Above the Bat
- Help First
These core values promote integrity, dedication, and excellence in service. Meridian BRTs must demonstrate not only field competence but also strong interpersonal skills. They regularly interact with our customers, your team, and even the public inside busy stores and commercial facilities.
Every BRT undergoes specialized training in bird behavior, capture protocols, and regulatory compliance. Our technicians understand how to safely remove birds from facilities while following federal and state laws—especially when it comes to protected species. But they’re trained for more than just removal.
They’re trained to communicate. Many commercial facilities experience concern from the public or employees when birds are involved. For instance, an employee or store customer may worry the bird will be harmed. Our BRTs explain our live capture system and, when appropriate, demonstrate the bird’s safe release. We’ve successfully reassured countless animal lovers this way, creating peace of mind while resolving the situation quickly.
Our team comes from diverse, but relevant backgrounds. Many are wildlife experts, including those with degrees in biology or wildlife management. Others are outdoor sports enthusiasts—individuals who are comfortable navigating large spaces, staying alert, and solving problems in real-time. This unique blend of scientific understanding and field agility makes our technicians uniquely equipped for the job.
Our informal motto is simple: “We embrace new adventures daily.” That’s because every bird capture is different. The unpredictability of when and where a bird may enter a facility keeps our BRTs sharp. We seek out team members who thrive on that thrill—who see each job as a puzzle to solve.
Hiring people who love the work shows in our results. Our customers consistently comment on the professionalism, efficiency, and approachability of our team. That’s no accident—it’s the result of careful hiring, comprehensive training, and a company culture that puts people first.
So when you call Meridian, you’re not just getting someone with a net. You’re getting a trained bird control technician with experience, professionalism, and a passion for delivering solutions the right way.
