Feathers Red

How to add feathers to a picture, photoshop, 10 points?

I am trying to add colorful feathers to a photo I am manipulating, problem is, I don’t want to paste the feathers and have to do the tedious job of erasing all the background without erasing the feather, I know about multiply and how that works with photos of something black with a white back ground, but does not work with colors, tried it with the red feather with a white back ground and the feather was semi transparent. Help?
