Some types are. Yews, for example, are very toxic. Even a small bite can be fatal. Other types have toxic effects, too, but what happens depends on the size of the bird and how much is eaten.

What makes a canary lose its balance?
I have had my canary for about 4 months and it has lost its balance. It falls into its food dish and off stoops. This started happening after I changed the birds cage. I got a new cage but it was alittle rusty so I spray painted it, after the paint dried I put the bird in it. I think even though the paint was dry the bird was effected by the fumes and developed this problem. It has only been a week since I changed the cage back and the bird shows little improvement but hopefully it is a temporary condition. You have to remember that cole miners took canaries into the mines and if the bird died it meant the air wasn't good. I would check for anything that might be an air pollutant for little polly.
