This is a great model, do the feathers on the wings and finish it. Use a map with transparency if you have to. PFX can be a real pain but thats another altenative. or you could be really sick and model the feathers idividually!!!

Fur looks... well fur
Paint effects gives nice results but is more like pain effects to control. Maybe maps with transparency is the way to go even if it requires a lot of work... let's see...

I also did some R&D on how to attach the feathers on the bird while having them to stick on the surface while it deforms. The following two playblast clips shows my results so far (both about 1mb).
https://kbrown.wolfenstein.org/temp/blast3.avi - About 1200 poly planes attached to a poly sphere which has a twist deformer.
https://kbrown.wolfenstein.org/temp/blast5.avi - 540 poly planes attached to a poly cylinder which has a bend deformer.
My method seems to work but it's pretty slow to evaluate

But it is looking great! I would definatley say you should pursue the feathers idea because if you're going for closeups you're going to need them
