Your thinking along the right lines. The feathers have to do the work. The image must speak.
the fluff of newborn birds for instance might give a sense of innocence--not saying you should use that, just illustrating.
When you find poets on the site that use a great deal of imagery, and you think wow that works--look at how they did it.
How did they build the image? How did they build on the image?
Then you can try those sort of constructions in your own work.
