In 1987, torrential rains over a period of several days caused Hay Creek to flood PA State Route 82 which runs through the Borough, washing out several bridges. After many years of discussion between local and state officials, the decision was finally made in 2004 that the bridges would not be rebuilt. Instead, the former road connecting Birdsboro to Robeson Township would be used formally as a nature trail, as it had been informally used since the time of the flood.
Recent new business in Birdsboro incuded the opening of a the China III take-out restaurant and a Rita's Italian Ice franchise.
