> The problem isn’t that one little bird has died. The problem is that the bird might be dead because the whole mine is filling with deadly carbon monoxide or highly flammable methane gas.

I don't get it, you've already been poisoned by those gases and can hardly breath, why do you need to look at dead birds for any signal?

That’s the thing. The canaries died before the miners realized they were in danger, due to their sensitivity of carbon monoxide and other bad stuff.

But in this case the miners died long before the icons were redesigned?
