Is this like a prison teardrop tattoo for birds? Should I be cautious?

I mean, he is a dark-eyed junco. Prolly stabbed another bird in a dark alley for some smack.

If lil’ chip here had a snowflake for every birdie he killed, he’d be covered from claws to beak. ☃️

Wait, snowflakes are that big? Or is this just a silly meme?
I have very limited experience with snow being in Australia and all

Snowflakes vary in size from tiny specs to big, crystals a few millimeters in diameter like in the pic.

I’m pretty sure that is a small bird, but yeah, they can definitely be visible to the naked eye (depending on the type of snow)

Sometimes they are, yep! They vary in size and shape quite a bit.

I still can’t believe that’s a real bird name.

The snowflake is located above the middle of the distance between the eye and ear of the bird. That is like a snowflake hair clip by the temple.

Yeah, since when is a cheek located behind an eye on anything?
