Reply:A very plump bird, put it on a diet then release it back into the wild. If it is big then keep it well fed until christmas. Then eat it!

Reply:Was it growing on the tree? Or did you find it lying on the ground by the tree? I kind of need this information to search this out for you. Please resubmit with the edits to give this information and I will surly try to help you.
Reply:Yes it will be a dorm mouse nest. They love to nest in yew trees. Maybe there's wee mouse inside ....a wee tim'rous beastie



Or it could be as was said earlier, the very first golf balls were made from feathers but bound tight with twine.
Reply:It sounds like the fungus that grows on my cedar trees. Is a golf ball sized sphere that when mature, opens and has orange feathery appendages all around it. Really gross to have fall down your shirt when mowing under the trees!
