Wonderful post! I wanted to note that the pin described as A "Votes for Women" parrot pin from the Ann Lewis Collection is a bluebird rather than a parrot. These were produced during "Suffrage Blue Bird Day," an attempt to ratify the 19th Amendment in the Commonwealth in 1915. The bluebirds were used to publicize and promote the cause of Women's Suffrage across the state.
