does the smell of paint effect my canaries?

yes,the smell of paint do effect your bird,back in the day canaries saved many miners lifes,because canaries were the only birds that could indicate if it was a gas leak underground.
 
It depends on what kind of paint you used. I wouldn't think that latex paint would bother them, but a solvent based paint would be a different story. Check the can's label. If it says that you should used in only in well-ventilated areas, then get your canaries out.

A bird's respirtory system is different from ours making them more suseptable to VOCs.
