In India Dogs, Cats, Monkeys, Or some other wild animal bites are the major source of Rabies. In fact in India according to guidelines rabies vaccine is not given for close contact with bats. So you are absolutely fine, you won't get rabies from touching feathers of a bird. I hope that answers your query. Anything else you may consult me on Practo
Next Steps
