Explanation:

In Susan Glaspell's Trifles, the bird is explicitly compared to Minnie Wright (the accused wife): it is described as sweet, pretty, timid, and fluttery, matching the description of Minnie before her marriage, and its "change" mirrors Minnie's loss of joy under her oppressive husband.

Answer:

The bird symbolizes Minnie Wright (the main female character, Mrs. Wright).
