Does it have feathers? Yes

(in this instance all these questions are relevent - but for me "entirely animal" would also include a woollen shirt = so sorry for future misdirections!)

Is it domesticated?

(And for me, "a whole animal or even multiple ones" pushed me away from the "woollen shirt track".)

If you can find me a woollen shirt that is (in Baron Frankenstein voice) alive and has feathers, I will at least make a try to domesticate it!
