How to choose the wood for my bird feeder project?

Hi, I'm sorry for this noob question, but I'd like to build a bird feeder for my garden, I have plan, or at least an idea in my head for it, but I don't know what type of wood I should be looking for. It is this type of feeder I am looking to build: https://www.tjhughes.co.uk/products/bird-stand-4 But I would be using slate for the roof tiles, can i grab any type of wood from B&Q and crack on, or is there a type of wood I should pick due to it being out doors? submitted by /u/FalseEconomy82 [link] [comments]
