Taylor thinks Turtle might have been molested in the park. She falls into despair because she feels she failed Turtle by not protecting her. Taylor, overwhelmed with guilt, helps Virgie Mae free a bird trapped in the house. Freeing the bird is a symbolic representation of trying to free Turtle from her own mental prison.
