As for phesant feathers, I can't stand the things! They shed filaments that accumulate in toneholes, on pads, around pillars and also get embedded in the case lining.
Evelyn Rothwell/Barbirolli suggests using a budgie feather to clean reeds with (passing through the staple and out through the reed aperture) in her reed book - not sure if I'd like a dose of psittacosis but that could be the ideal way of catching it.
