This looks like the Dwarf version of miners taking a canary in a cage into a mine that has a danger of poisonous fumes around. Miners took canaries with them, as they are more vulnerable to poisonous fumes, so when they started to die, the miners knew that gas or other noxious elements were present, so had plenty of warning to get back out of the area. Cruel for the birds, but those were the times and conditions of the age.
