WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
A Wildlife Cage Dragon Karakuri with a Grasswing Swallow housed in it.
For a recipe that requires Pet Kemono Tail Feathers, use the Grasswing Swallow Wildlife Cage route. Small-Kemono material references identify this bird as a source of Tail Feathers and describe the Wildlife Cage as the structure for passive collection. Keep the animal housed, check the cage during regular play, and use the collected feathers in the recipe that calls for them.
Obtain a Grasswing Swallow using the available in-game small-Kemono interaction.
Have regional Dragon Karakuri capacity available for the cage.
Confirm that your target recipe requires Pet Kemono Tail Feathers.
Use the in-game map or habitat information to find a Grasswing Swallow in an explored area.
Obtain the Grasswing Swallow for housing through the available small-Kemono interaction.
Open the Dragon Karakuri construction menu and place a Wildlife Cage where regional capacity permits.
Use the cage’s available interaction to house the Grasswing Swallow.
Continue other activities, then return to the cage and collect its available Pet Kemono Tail Feathers.
Check your inventory and spend the feathers on the intended crafting recipe.
Farming tips
Check that the housed animal is a Grasswing Swallow; passive materials depend on the assigned creature.
Review regional Dragon Karakuri capacity before placing a cage, especially if other structures already use that allowance.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep the Grasswing Swallow housed and collect available feathers when you return to the cage. The route remains useful while the crafting demand continues; it is not an instant one-time pickup.
Common mistakes
Expecting Tail Feathers from any small Kemono: the identified source is the Grasswing Swallow.
Expecting output immediately after placing the cage: continue playing and check back for available material.
Placing a cage without enough regional capacity: inspect the Dragon Karakuri cap and make room or expand the relevant pit.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have enough feathers for the planned recipe, or change the housed animal only if another supported material is more useful.
