Feather

Feathers are material items that were added in v0.05 of The Forest.

Gameplay
Feathers are located in one of the front pockets of your backpack in your inventory. You can also carry an unlimited supply of feathers.

Feathers are dropped from birds as they fly and can also be obtained by killing a bird, which will yield 3 - 5 feathers, depending on the bird. They will float in the air and can quickly become out of reach if not collected.

Types of birds and how much they drop:
 * Blue, Red and Brown Bird: 3-4
 * Black Bird: 4-5
 * Seagull: 4-5
 * Geese: 4-5

Feathers can also be obtained by building a birdhouse. It will passively collect feathers even while you're away from it. It can hold a max of 30. It works in a similar way to Sap Collectors. Birds will also land on it, so it can add a nice feature to your base.

As of v0.16, dead birds had a chance of spawning feathers when hit, but this feature only works with Geese in v1.12.
