Black Feathers from fearless birds are Haunted Crow Feathers in DDV. This item is exclusively available in The Haunted Floating Festival event and can only be found around the special island.

You’re looking for small black feathers surrounded by golden sparkles. They’re pretty tiny and easy to miss, so even when you know what you’re looking for, tracking them down is a fairly tricky task.

You can fund the Haunted Crow Feathers you need to feed the Terror-rific Tree on the ground by a scarecrow near the garden. The Haunted Floating Festival island is fairly large and quite a maze to navigate, so pinpointing the right spot can be tricky. Here’s a full breakdown of how to find the features.

  • Start at the Coco-themed wishing well in the middle of the island.
  • Turn to face in the same direction as the scarecrow and autumn banners.
  • Walk under the autumn banners.
  • Stop right before the path changes from dark brown tiles to grey stone.
  • Make a sharp left, heading toward the pumpkin Mickey Mouse topiary.

  • Once you reach the pumpkin topiary, walk around the right side of it.
  • Continue straight until you reach a dead end.
  • Look right to find a short scarecrow wearing a light brown outfit.
  • Find the Haunted Crow Feathers on the ground all around this scarecrow.

You’ll only find a few Haunted Crow Feathers around the scarecrow at first. After you collect them, more will eventually spawn in. They take a bit to reappear, and you need quite a lot of them to feed the Terror-rific Tree, so be sure to collect as often as you can.

How often do Haunted Crow Feathers respawn in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

Up to three Haunted Crow Feathers can be present at once, and it takes about 10 minutes for more to appear. It’s not an incredibly long respawn timer, but you do still need to do a bit of waiting between each collection.

If you’re not sure what to do while you wait, consider tackling other spooky festivities around the island. There are plenty to choose from, including the Trick-or-Treat event, the Haunted Well puzzle, and the Witchful Thinking Star Path.
