` Pine, especially when warm, is toxic to Boids. It contains volatiles, which can irritate them, make them sick, and over the long run, kill them.
` Occasional contact may not be harmful, but living inside a cage made of pine may have long term health consequences.
` This goes for fir too, and most other softwoods. Many hardwoods are bad, also. Redwood, and Cedar are just plain poison. Oak is safe, except tan oak, but the foliage and acorns are not.
