A vase can easily be damaged, once it breaks there's no use for it.Red flowers reflect remembering someone, indicating that Doodle was going to leave the narrator. The Doodle bird struggled even in its last breath, indicating Doodle is also going to have a tragic death, feeling vulnerable and struggling.
