Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I guess maybe I should term this differently. Would anyone here use blued pine for building a house?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I just have to say, parrots being the incredibly smart and cute birds that they are I would take care to only feed them things I would have no problem eating myself. Maybe cherry wood is good for birds..check first... something completely nontoxic? I would cut it myself if there was any doubt/ Never anything from lumber stores.. You must have a LOT of birds! (cool!) Bue treated wood is toxic, its treated with boric acid.. (a fungicide) On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 4:15 AM, Patilla DaHun <glypella@...> wrote: > I guess maybe I should term this differently.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Typically hard woods are toxic. Wilting cherry leaves will release cyanide and should not be eaten by animals. ________________________________ From: LiveSimply <quackadillian@...> Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 7:56:42 AM Subject: Re: [] Blue Stained Lumber I just have to say, parrots being the incredibly smart and cute birds that they are I would take care to only feed them things I would have no problem eating myself.
