Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered
I have lost two Canaries in the past 6 yrs. They both died at 3 yrs. of age. I was wondering if they are dying due to having a Floor Vent below them. My Roomer cooks and fries foods downstairs, and the fumes come upstairs. Under Ringo. The other day,, my husband swept above the Canary, over the Curtains, and a lot of dust was not caught. Are any of these things killing my birds. (Canaries)? Or, is it something else? I try to be so careful with them, but they are still dying for some reason.

That is pretty young for a canary and if they are not in a well-ventilated area, it certainly could be a potential causes. Cooking fumes, especially from products such as Teflon pans, can be toxic to birds, so moving the birds to an area that is better ventilated and away from the cooking area/vents is a good idea. Keeping the environment around your birds clean and dust-free can also help them stay healthier.
