    Question offcuts of any "untreated" native & or pine timbers

    Hello,
    I've 3 "rescue" Suplhur Crested Cockatoos: Robert, whose lower beak is fully split entirely thru the beak & mandible, means handfeeding lumpy porrige consistency twice daily. Charlie who is partially bald & has a lower abdomen fatty tumour & Cleo who has no visisble physical issues but more than her fair share of psychological ones. I'm intent on supporting these lovely creatures & hoping I can find a supply of free offcuts of any "untreated" native & or pine timbers. I'd like to make toys for my rescue family so any wood that fits the criteria would be a huge help.
    I could pay a small amount if there is none available free however my funds are limited & primarily allocated to buying food of very high quality for these 3 to build up their physical health.
    Please email me if you think you can help?
    Many thanks,
    Susan

    Does it have to be sawn or just natural branches? Someone in NSW should be able to help with this.
    I'm a dancing fool! The beat goes on and I'm so wrong!!!!

    I have significant number of plain pine offcuts from non structural timber packs that I could donate for a worthwhile cause. All clean. I'm at berowra, NSW
    eg 600 x 90 x45 or 600 x 70x35

    Default offcuts of any "untreated" native & or pine timbers

    Hello, Neil, Corey & Goodwoody,
    Thank-you for your responses & sorry for my late reply. I'm new to this forum & still learning the ropes.

    Branches or sawn, all would be good as long as it's natural / untreated (Would hate to poison my precious friends!)

    Any size that I can fit is my car - Toyota Starlet, not big but surprising what can be transported!

    Both Berowra & Concord are easy locations for me, I'm happy to visit whenever it's most suitable for you both.

    Not sure if I'm allowed to put my email address here, but hey, here we go: [email protected] if you could let me know suitable date / time please/

    Thanks so much.
    Susan
