Features: Since the appearance of humans on Earth, there has been an inseparable bond between humans and birds. Our ancestors gradually became aware of birds during fishing and hunting activities and began to collect bird eggs, consume their meat, and utilize their feathers. Birds serve not only as pets but also have special uses. Ornamental birds are small in size, easy to raise, and highly sensitive to toxic gases. When the concentration of toxic gases in the air is undetectable by humans, birds can sense the reaction, such as (Fujun bird), (Jiao Feng), and (Xiangsi bird). Therefore, in chemical and reagent factories that produce toxic products, these birds are often hung in production workshops as "alarms" to monitor whether toxic gases are leaking. If toxic gas leaks, the birds will exhibit lethargy, inactivity, or falls, allowing people to take timely action to avoid and repair the situation, preventing accidents and ensuring production and personnel safety. Additionally, in drug storage facilities and ships carrying toxic materials, bird cages are often hung before loading or unloading to test and observe for a period of time. If the birds survive safely, workers can proceed with operations without being affected, thus ensuring the safety of personnel. Birdkeeping is an elegant and enjoyable pastime. However, birds are also very delicate animals, and it is not easy to keep ornamental birds healthy, lively, and suitable for observation.
