It’s worth noting that these are different to blue bird feathers which are another crafting item.

Blue bird feathers are obtained by catching Chirris of the same color, in chests, as a random prize in Clean Cut, or purchased from the Moonlight Merchant.

What Are They Used For?

You can take these to the Scrap Shop in the Bazaar. Here, you’ll be able to upgrade Link’s equipment.

Bird feathers are used to upgrade the Sacred Shield into the Divine Shield, and then from the Divine Shield into the Goddess Shield.

You can also just sell them if you’ve no longer got a use for them. This can be done by looking out for Rupin at night. He’ll buy them off you for 20 Rupees each. Not too shabby for something you no longer have any use for.
