Where do you get your toy making parts from (uk)

One of the things I do is go to the lumber yard and go to the cut off bins and pick out cut offs that I could use. At most lumber yards they are free.

Just make sure the lumber is untreated.

I caught my contractor tossing several 2X4s of untreated wood. I told him it was tons of parrot toys...so now he puts the "warped" pieces aside for me.

 

I don't know of any places in the UK, but there are some great online stores: http://www.pine4parrots.co.uk/Pages/Toymakingparts.aspx

What types of untreated wood are acceptable? I was at Home Depot today looking but was too afraid to purchase any until I asked on here hahaha....

I buy the untreated pine. I think some people use balsa, but I never have.
