| this caught my eye as I was about to toss last Sunday’s paper Dear Heloise: Just a word of caution for anyone using foot spray around caged birds: We had our bird in a cage in our bedroom. Not thinking about it, my husband used a foot spray near the bed. Uh oh, I sense a train wreck about to happen... When I went back into the room to vacuum, I noticed my little canary convulsing and dying on the bottom of the cage. The only thing it could have been from was the foot spray. Dunno about that, could have been the feet. Remember gents: Dr. Scholl sez clear the room of housepets before spraying. It’s common courtesy.

| #5 We cats like canary meat. How dare than man ruin perfectly good prey by poisoning the bird with foot spray! |

| #4 This is why you can't use canaries to detect a chemical attack. For all you know the enemy could have just been spraying you with foot disinfectant. |

| #2 Funny, my wife does the same thing when I get ready to pull my shoes off at night. When you walk past a supermarket's odor-eater display, do they sorta jump out at you? |

| #1 It's nothing but the olde Canary in the Coal Mine Effect. We must rediscover our heritage the hard way (on canaries everywhere). |
