Because the elephants where purple!
Doodle admires The Scarlet Ibis's beauty and uniqueness, but also sees it as fragile and vulnerable. Doodle is fascinated by the bird's vivid colors and graceful movements, but is saddened by its tragic fate.
It can almost be said that Doodle sees himself in the bird. It may not be a conscious knowing that they are similar, but he is aware of the similarity. The pain is there b/c he unconsiously recognizes himself in the bird, and is aware of his weak hold to this earth.

In "The Scarlet Ibis," Doodle identifies with the bird because he, like the ibis, is different and struggling to survive. Both Doodle and the ibis are fragile and out of place in their surroundings, making Doodle feel a strong connection to the bird. This identification serves as a symbol of Doodle's own vulnerability and desire for acceptance.
