hi, can anyone who dyes their own wood post how to do it? I realy wanna make some of my fids fav. toys, but they LOVE color!! & there's always so much that could go wrong! Also I want to use the wood I already have, so I would love to hear from ppl who have experience with this. for woods I have ; Lilac,Magnoila, suger Maple, Beech, & Birch. the one i'm not 100% on is the Maple, I have seen it on both lists (toxic & non-toxic) so I may not use it just in case. As for coloring, I'v herd using childrens paint (b/c it's non-toxic),food coloring, & vegie Dyes. which is best? is there something else that's much better? please HELP!! my birds go through these wood toys very fast, & since I have the means of making them, I would rather. the dyes are my real issue!
( a lil' side note, does anyone buy Marbella parts for their birds? I know it's sait to be the strongest plastic, even toos & caws can't brake, but is it really 100% safe?)
TY for anyone who can help!!!!
