The "feather" in the phrase "lighter than a feather" refers to the down on swans, also known as velvet. Since velvet is very soft and light, "lighter than a feather" is used to describe something very light and lightweight. It should be noted that "feather" itself is not an animal's hair, but just a metaphor.
