The canary is one of the most common domestic birds, along with budgies and parrots. Asthma, allergic rhinitis, and allergic conjunctivitis can occur as a result of contact with canary feathers, epithelial cells, or excrement. Allergic manifestations can manifest as bird lover's asthma and bird egg syndrome with symptoms such as rhinitis, hives, and angioedema, as well as gastrointestinal problems. Contact can result from handling birds, cleaning their cages, or exposure to organic dust flying from ceilings or roofs where birds nest. As noted above, inhaled feather dust contains several allergenic components that cross-react with serum allergens/antigens from the same as well as other bird species.
