Fleeing the Coal Mine
Once upon a time, canaries were used as the unfortunate metric for mine shaft safety. Being particularly susceptible to carbon monoxide gas, they would be brought into coal mines with the workers of the early 19th century to serve as a warning sign of danger. If the canary grew distressed and died, the workers would know to evacuate the mine immediately lest the same fate befall them. Being the “canary in the coal mine” is now a common phrase used to describe early indicators of potential hazards.
This beautiful little canary is escaping this coal mine and will hopefully serve as a good omen in your home, keeping you safe from danger.
