Explanation:

The quotes from Trifles directly link the bird's traits (timid, fluttery, sweet, pretty) to Minnie Wright, noting she "did — change" like the bird would be suppressed, and her fear of cats mirrors the bird's vulnerability to a threatening force (her husband). This direct parallel establishes the bird as a symbol of Minnie Wright.

Answer:

The bird symbolizes Minnie Wright (the accused wife in Trifles).
