Birds
Required Item: Bird Snare.
The main birds you can capture are: Crimson Swifts, Golden Warbler, Copper Longtails, Cerulean Twitches, and Tropical Wagtails. Each one when caught gives you feathers relating to itself.
Crimson Swifts are found on the beach in the Jungle region, when you get there with your bird snare(s), lay them and wait for a Crimson Swift to land on one, if you successfully capture it then it will fall over, if it flies off, it has escaped your trap, you need to disassemble it, and then reassemble it for the snare to work.
Wearing camouflage area that matches the reason and staying a distance away also helps capture birds, recommended 5+ spaces away.
Here's an example of a captured bird (a Golden Warbler):
