What it measures
- Canary feather-specific IgE — Antibodies that may rise when the immune system reacts to canary feather proteins.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels, sometimes included for context.
- Other bird feather IgEs — May check related bird allergens such as parrot, pigeon, or chicken feathers.
- Common indoor allergen IgEs — May include dust mite, mold, or pet dander to help identify other triggers.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is usually required. Tell your clinician about all medications, especially antihistamines, because some can affect allergy test results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level or class for each allergen-specific IgE, often along with a reference range. A higher level may suggest sensitization, but it does not by itself confirm an allergy or predict symptom severity. A clinician interprets results alongside your history and may recommend further evaluation. This is general information, not medical advice.
