A red feather is a drop from the crimson swift bird caught using the Hunter skill. Level 1 Hunter and at least one bird snare are needed to catch these birds in the Feldip Hunter area or Taverley. This is also dropped by pheasants in McGrubor's Wood.
Red feathers, along with all coloured feathers gathered from the Hunter skill, can be used in place of regular white feathers in the Fletching skill. Despite the difference, the arrows still come out with white feathers and are used as normal arrows. They can be sold to the Varrock Fancy Dress Shop for 6 coins each.
Additionally, a red coloured feather headdress can be created by adding 20 red feathers to a studded leather coif with level 79 crafting.
Completing the Court Case "Ernest vs Professor Oddenstein" rewards the player with 15 red, blue, and yellow feathers.
