Ironman verdict
Only one monster drops it: Pheasant (level 4), at 1/4 (about one every 2 kills). Other sources include Crimson swift and Divine bird snare. 33 recipes use Red feather, including Adamant bolts, Adamant dart and Bane bolts. Red feather is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 6 coins, which is 4 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
