He carried the bird, singing "Shall We Gather at the River", to the front yard, and buried it in the flower garden, next to the petunia bed.
In "The Scarlet Ibis," the scarlet ibis symbolizes Doodle's unique nature and fragility. Like the bird, Doodle is out of place in his environment and his vibrant existence is ultimately fleeting and delicate. The presence of the scarlet ibis highlights the beauty and tragedy of Doodle's life.
The ibis isn't a person, it is a type of bird. The character of Doodle symbolizes the ibis.

the ibis symbolizes doodle because: Both die in a similar way (in a storm under a red plant in a crooked form), both cant survive in new conditions (ibis away from tropics, doodle in training) and both are abnormal in the world (fragile and weak in stature)
Doodle responds to the dying ibis with sorrow and compassion and buries the bird.
The death of Doodle is being foreshadowed by the death of the scarlet ibis bird.
In "The Scarlet Ibis," Doodle, like the bird, is fragile and unique. Both Doodle and the scarlet ibis are beautiful and out of place in their environment. Their shared fate reflects the theme of pride and mortality in the story.
The dead scarlet ibis serves as a powerful symbol of mortality, frailty, and the consequences of pride in the short story "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst. It highlights the theme of the fragility of life and the destructive nature of pride.
