Guardians of Ga'hoole: to Be a King
“He had been skimming close to the low-growing bushes and scanning the nettles and spiny shrubs that grew in this region bordering the Desert of Kuneer when he had sighted a small ball of dark fluff and then caught the unmistakable whiff. He lighted down next to the shrub.
“Look,” said Phineas.
“What?” asked Hoole, lighting down next to him.
“Small feathers, black ones, pin feathers,” Phineas replied.

So light were these feathers that when molted, they would blow away and get caught up in tall grass or shrubs. With most birds, the tumbledown was pale in color, but this was black. Phineas looked up at his mates. “Tumbledown from a hagsfiend.”
