Silas

Uncle Silas is Ladonna's uncle. Fern used Silas as inspiration for a fictional character named Uncle Cyrus.

Uncle Silas
Uncle Silas works as a clown and has a crazy hairdo. He owns a pet parrot that tells terrible jokes. The parrot once got lost. He had bought the parrot from a pet store in the mall.

Uncle Cyrus
In Fern's story, Uncle Cyrus kidnapped Polly the Parrot, the pride of the Cirque de Fauteuil, to protect her. He brought her to the Congo, but the Grey Dove also came to try to steal her. After Watteau and Bastings defeat the Grey Dove, Cyrus does not return Polly to the circus because the thing that she wanted the most was her freedom.
