Cage Wood cages

[eburmeister]

I hope I am asking this in the right place. I am going to build a wood cage. There are some beautiful multi level cages people have posted pic of. My question however is this. I am not able to get Aspen where I live. Are there woods I should stay away from? Are some better than others?

I used kiln dried pine for my cage. You would need to stay away from cedar and redwood.
