Feathered friend by Arthur Clarke is a science fiction short story about a small canary and how her existence on the space station helped save lives.
The narrator says that he is unaware of a regulation that prevents pets from being on a space station and that Sven would ignore it anyway.
Sven was the best construction worker on the space station at the time and was a very ''wiry title fellow'' which got him a bonus for being under 150 pounds unlike his counterpart Sven was smart to have Claribel as as a pet because it took close to nothing to to support her.
The narrator woke up one day and with a headache and was slow to do morning activities.
Sven was missing from breakfast because he was looking for Claribel.
Claribel was found in a stunned state and Jock Dancan could not hear a heartbeat.
Someone said to give her a oxygen from oxygen mask which served as an oxygen tent for Claribel.
The oxygen revived Claribel and she called everyone to breakfast and passed out again.
The narrator notices that Claribel was passing out because of the air being bad, an air purifier had frozen and the single 500 thousand dollar alarm failed to go off.
Claribel had saved everyone's life
