The Yellow Bird}

Throughout the book, Perry Smith often dreams about a yellow bird. This bird symbolizes hope and the willingness to persevere in life. No matter what kind of trouble Perry dreamt he was in, the yellow bird would always rescue him. For example, when Perry was young, he would often dream about the fact that orphanage nuns would abuse him. In these dreams, the yellow bird would attack the nuns and lift Perry into the sky, thus giving him confidence.

yellow bird

1.The term yellow bird represents not only your true love but also love in general. In this sense of the term you shouldn't forget about the yellow bird, or true love, as when you stop believing in love you end up hurting those around you.

2.The yellow bird represents both the person you were with and the connection that you felt with them.

3.The warm yellow light, the happiness, between two people in love.

4.A common reference in Bright Eyes songs based off of a song by the folk artist Simon Joyner. This song speaks about how when you have this connection with your yellow bird your actions hurt them even when you aren't together.
