Solution to the Feathers

After reading the short story and returning to the game, you will still be facing the master of the buzzards. Turn around and locate the four small buzzard statues. They all have a red stone. The heads will change corresponding feathers on the master buzzard. You will need to number the heads one through four from left to right and the feathers one through six left to right. For example, head one will change the third and fifth feathers longer. Click on head three, and the fourth feather will get longer. Click on head three a second time. This will make the fourth feather even longer. Click on head two to make the first feather longer, the third longer and the fifth longer. Click on head one to change the third feather to a longer length and the fifth feather to a shorter length. Finally, click the fourth head to make the sixth feather longer.
Feather Key

Once the feathers are in the correct pattern, turn back to the master buzzard statue and it will drop the feather key. You will need to turn to the four small buzzards. Use the key to unlock the buzzard statues. After the small buzzard opens, you will receive an eyeball.
