In order to protect miners from poisonous gases that could leak into a mine as a result of their activities, miners would place canaries in cages and bring them into the coalmines with them.
The canaries would be effected by any gas leaks and would die before the miners would be harmed. Canaries effectively operated as a low tech indicator that it was time to get out of the mine or suffer the consequences.
