The wood won't be PT. That's for construction (fence posts, decking
supports, etc). IT is an absolute no-no to use PT inside a home. It is
clearly marked. PT usually is green, but could also be an orangy brown
color too. There will be indentations all over the surface. You can't
really miss it, wizzer.

Is most lumber at places like Home Depot pressure treated or not? Do
they always mark it if it's pressure treated? How about the wood at
Rocklers or Michael's craft store?

I got some hard maple from someone who did a home remodeling, and I
think it was used indoors. Is this likely to be pressure treated or
not?

I need to make some perches and toys for a pet bird and I wouldn't want
it to die from eating pressure treated wood.
