The rain adds that extra dimension. In relation to the birds head, the rain streaks are the same length in both images. In image 1 the closer rain streaks to the bird will be a bit sharper and the rain closer to the camera blurred out. In image 2, by being closer in terms of focal distance you pick up closer rain drops which are a bit more out of focus which makes them wider but not longer.

Believe the rain is more prominent in #2 because you are closer and it is raining harder. Maybe a little more daylight to reflect also.
