Why the Canary mascot?
Canary was founded in the security industry. The canary bird was one of the early alarm systems back in the 1900's. This was because they were particularly sensitive to carbon monoxide, a substance which led to numerous mining accidents and deaths. It was soon discovered that a canary would immediately show signs of distress in the presence of carbon monoxide and die well before a human would begin to feel the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning, thus they came to play a crucial role in detecting these toxic gases and managing hazards in the mine.
