- Doodle is described as "red and shriveled" when he is born, which could be seen as a foreshadowing of his premature death.
- The scarlet ibis, which is described as "a bird that lives in the tropics," is not native to the area and is therefore out of place. This could symbolize Doodle's own fragility and the struggles he faces in his own environment.
- Doodle is initially unable to walk, and it is described as being "a long time before he could walk. Then he fell down a lot. But he was always my brother." This emphasizes Doodle's physical weakness and suggests that his condition could have negative consequences later on.
