What does it mean when the Room fills with smoke whenever you burn wood in fireplace?

Something is preventing your fireplace from drawing. The damper may be closed, or partially closed. Your chimney may have a blockage, or you may have prevailing winds that push smoke back down the chimney. If you have air flow problems, such as a vent fan that draws air out of the house, it can cause that. Bottom line- if the damper is open, and the flue is not blocked, you need a good fireplace/chimney specialist to examine what you have.

Why does smoke from a fireplace go up the chimney instead of out into the living room?

Why does the gas log fireplace not heat a room?
It's most likely a woodburning/vented fireplace, by design the combustion air used to burn gas logs comes directly from the room, and all the fumes/hot air go up the chimney. The fireplace actually pulls outside air into the home to replace the air lost up the chimney. All the heat is radient, so if nothing is there the feel the heat, it is lost.

Does a fire in a fireplace burn better when the outdoor air is calm or windy?
The fire in a fireplace burns well when it is drawing well, which means it is getting a steady flow of fresh air (& oxygen) to the fire and exhaust/smoke is flowing steadily away. An open fireplace in a building needs quite a large volume air to be supplied to it (either from a draughty or well ventilated room, or through a vent), and a large exhaust through the chimney. The wind around the building can affect the drawing of the chimney by creating high and low pressure areas. If the chimney top is in a lower pressure area than the room with the fireplace, the air will draw steadily through the fireplace and chimney, because air in a high pressure zone will want to flow to a lower pressure zone. If the chimney top is in a higher pressure area than the room, the flow will tend into the room, bringing the smoke with it. Wind direction and speed can affect this, as can the position of the chimney opening and the ventilation of the fireplace room. A well designed fireplace should draw well in all wind strengths and directions, but many do not.
Can a fireplace fumes kill a cockatiel?
It really depends on how close to the fireplace you have your cockatiel. SMOKE KILLS. Even YOU can die because of smoke inhalation. Sadly, having a cockatiel in the same room as a fireplace is not going to kill it, I tried that in the past to get mine to be quiet. However if you have them within a small area around the fireplace where the fumes are the most intense, Yes, it CAN and Will kill the bird.... so, if you are looking for a way to terminate your bird, sit the cage on the mantle, and build a very smoky fire. The bird will just go to sleep, and never awake again....

Yes, but it was literally a place for the fire, and not the fireplace you would find in a home today. It was usually a stone hearth in the middle of the room. A fire was built there, and a hole in the roof let smoke out.
The Importance of a Fireplace Flue Damper?
It's important that an indoor fireplace flue damper be opened before igniting anything in a fireplace. The damper looks similar to a trap door and is located at the bottom of the chimney. When it's open, it provides an opening for smoke from the fireplace to escape. If it is closed while a fire is lit, smoke will enter the room rather than leave via the chimney with possible deadly consequences. If nothing is burning in the fireplace, keep the flue damper closed. This saves money on energy by preventing heat or air conditioning loss up through the chimney.
