Catalogue Note
"The bird was intended to represent another family figure, Uncle George Potts, who lived with Indiana's maternal grandparents and had a parrot that would perch on his shoulder. Parrot, Mother, Father, Red Sails and Highball on the Redball Manifest together form a family album or portrait gallery." -Susan Elizabeth Ryan
