Some USTF shows use a show cabinet in which the birds are staged for judging.  It is suggested that at least some training be done in a cabinet or a mock up made of cardboard in similar dimensions.  Cabinets usually have foam board insulation on the inside to improve acoustics, florescent or LED lighting on the inner top, and window screen to obscure the birds' view of the audience at the contest.  Please note that cabinets may vary slightly from contest to contest.
