Well.

Adding these to birds might be an idea. It's be nice for me to get modding DF. But I can't really think of much use for them. What requirements must be met for things to be used as decoration? Putting colourful feathers on things might be nice. Other than that, feather coats, and maybe, I dunno, matresses? XD

Ideas?

[Deon]

Birds already have feathers, so you can work from there.

[EmperorJon]

They do? Ah, so they do. Brilliant. Now, what to do...

[Arni]

Creating beds out of feathers?... 
"Chicken feather bed"

[EmperorJon]

Yes, that was an idea, but that makes beds hard to make. :S

I want to add them to weapons and armor as decorations, to create something like the aztec animal-soldiers, who would dress in the skin of wolves, leopards, and sometimes birds as they rushed into battle.  Granted, feathers aren't very tough, so feathers over steel is preferred.  I'm also a big fan of feathers in general, so a craft type of "feather display" that takes 5-10 feathers and makes a craft out of them, like a framed picture of the feathers, might be nice.  Admittedly, some feathers should get higher value, I would assume that peacock feathers are more attractive that chicken feathers.

What about making it so that those animal armors grant the strength/speed etc of the animal it was made from

[Girlinhat]

That's impossible with the current raws, and impractical anyways.  Something tells me I'd want to have the strength of a steel axe, instead of the majestic power that a +Cat Leather Hood+ would give me.
