“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound the alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand.”(Joel 2:1).
When I first heard of the large number of bird deaths in the news lately, my first thought was of the canary that was sent into the mines with the miners in Britain. According to Wikipedia “canaries were once used in coal mining as an early warning system. Toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and methane in the mine would kill the bird before affecting the miners”.
