Feathers

From Spell Crafts by Scott Cunningham and David Harrington.
FEATHERS:
The magical qualities of feathers are determined by their color (and, sometimes, by the birds from which they fell). The below is a composite of feather lore from (mostly) European folk magic sources,and it differs from that of color symbolism in general. It's always best to use found feathers as opposed to purchased feathers.
Walks in parks, or in zoos, can provide a wealth of materials. If you keep birds, you have an even more reliable supply. Never harm a bird to
obtain a feather.
