Feather

Feathers are items dropped by chickens and parrots, as well as tamed cats as morning gifts.

Mob loot
Adult chickens drop 0–2 feathers upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0–5 with Looting III.

Parrots drop 1–2 feathers upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1–5 with Looting III.

A fox sometimes spawns holding a feather, which always drops upon death. Alternatively, the player can drop a food item, causing the fox to drop the feather in favor of the food.

Cat gifts
Tamed cats have a 70% chance of giving the player a "morning gift", and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a feather.

Helmet
While a feather cannot be equipped in the head slot in Survival mode, equipping it using commands causes it to appear completely upright unlike other items.

Trading
Expert-level fletcher villagers buy 24 feathers for an emerald as part of their trade.
