Hat?

Wears a hat? That's a feather crest, and I don't see any sort of witch hat in there...--BJG - unsigned comment from Blackjack Gabbiani (talkcontribs)

You don't see the resemblance to a witch? I'm surprised. It is supposed to be a crest, but it's also supposed to be a pointed witches' hat. Heck - even it's tailfeathers are shaped like the bristles on a witches' broomstick. The whole design comes off as a witch/crow combination. - Zeta - unsigned comment from Zeta (talkcontribs)
And for that matter, why would a regular "feather crest", have a round, circular, flat part? - Zeta - unsigned comment from Zeta (talkcontribs)
