the ibis is a symbol of doodle as in both physical and mental ways. they are both fragile and try to adjust to a lifestyle not of their own.also, the narrator feels regret after trying to fulfill his pride by making his brother something he is not. the storm in the end can represent replenishing and a new start b/c the death of doodle will forever leave the speaker mournful and the rain seems to wash away that sin.
