What kind of bird feathers? Some are banned.

You can find hawkers illegally vending peacock feathers outside the Hanging Gardens, Gateway and other tourist spots. Otherwise, make enquiries at the Crawford Market bird section, although I am sure that most of it would be illegal.

If you merely want something like pigeon feathers that have naturally fallen off, you can collect plenty at the many "kabutar khanas" all over the city.

No idea Palolem but if you just want a few, my tongue in cheek suggestion is to go to the BPT Gardens in Colaba [aka Sagar Upavan] near Sassoon Docks where egrets are a dime a dozen - in fact they rule the roost out there, and you are sure to be able to collect copious quantities of feathers !! Have fun.
