'''Feathers''' are items dropped by [[chicken]]s and [[parrot]]s, as well as tamed [[cats]] as morning gifts.

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

Adult [[chicken]]s 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.

[[Parrot]]s 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.

=== Natural generation ===

{{LootChestItem|feather}}

=== Cat gifts ===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a "morning gift", and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a feather.

== Usage ==

=== 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.
