Ep. 19 Canaries and their Coal Miners

All For Animals

Welcome to a history-filled episode, listeners!! This one was so much fun to research! Listen to learn all about the origin of the modern-day carbon monoxide detector, the inventions created to provide safety for both miners AND their birds, as well as some really cool facts about sentinel species and what makes them so helpful to humans! Humans going down into mines learned to rely on canaries for their own safety, but what makes this so amazing is that they also bonded with their feathered friends!
