The installation features three groups of animals playing musical instruments. One depicts two stacked frogs; the one on bottom is walking on stilts and the one on top is playing the concertina. Another shows two crocodiles, one of which is playing a drum and horn. The third sculpture depicts three rodents, one of which is carrying a horn. [1]
The sculptures were dedicated in 1991 and commemorate the children of Oregon. [6] Their condition were deemed "well maintained" during the Smithsonian Institution's " Save Outdoor Sculpture!" survey in July 1993. Parade of Animals was administered by Oregon's Department of Administrative Services at the time. [1]
