Silver Maple Safe?

Hi! I have checked all the bird safe and non-toxic wood/tree lists I have found listed on here and on google search. Is anyone familiar with the silver maple? Many lists will put all maple together on either safe or unsafe side or list. Several say all maple is safe besides red maple due to a fungus in the bark. Several list Sugar, Sycamore and Vine as the only bird safe woods but I have not seen silver maple listed anywhere.

I am asking because we are getting ready to trim two trees in our yard which are both silver maple. We have lived here since they were planted and know that they have NEVER been sprayed with pesticides or herbicides etc and they show no obvious signs of fungus. The branches would be washed well and baked or sun dried (depending on size) before use. Does anyone know if this specific type is safe or not or has anyone been using this kind with their birds?
