Part 3: Now, go to here:
Put birdseed on the birdseed feeder there and both birds will move. The first will go back to its starting point, the other will stay next to you. Go to the second bird's starting point, and pull the lever.
Now you must go back to the first lever in part 1 that you pulled in this puzzle. You must walk to where the statue used to be and pull the lever there.
Go back to the last part of the puzzle, and make the bird move again, so that it's hiding the lever. Then use the birdseed feeder opposite the bird that has not moved. Now you will have a clear path to the large opening in the center. You can now get the first feather!
Now, go through the tunnel that is opposite the stone door your collecting feathers for. Inside will be this:
Try and take the feather. This will happen.
Use all the winches and the net should be lowered.
Collect the feather and you will now have 2 feathers!
The third and final tunnel that you need to enter is just west of the second one. When you enter, you should see this:
Inspect it and you will see footprints. This is where the 27 hunting comes in. You need to track the footprints to their owner. Use the tracking method you use in normal hunting, until you find an opening. When you do, a level 13 Kebbit will come out and attack you. Kill it and receive the final feather.
You should now have three feathers:
Now use these feathers on the stone wall and you will be able to pass. You will also notice one last problem stopping you from getting to Nickolaus:
Make sure you are wearing both parts of your costume, and choose to walk past it. You will safely get to the nest. Speak to Nickolaus. Give him the disguise, and he will tell you to meet him at the camp. So leave the cave, and go back to his tent. He will now be there, so talk to him. You can talk to him about the eagles, and he will tell you that with rope, you can use them to fly places! Mention the ferret (your purpose of actually being there). He will then teach you how to catch ferrets.
You can use this method after the quest is completed. Now that you have your ferret, you can return to Charlie at the zoo. Tell him that you have a ferret for him, and the quest will be complete.

The three Eagles Transport System
You can now fly the three eagles! The three eagles are found near the giant eagle you sneaked past earlier, at the nest. Go past the mess in the room, and round the corner to see them.
The three locations they can fly you to are:
Polar eagle: Takes you to the polar hunting area. You will arrive in a big snow cave, where there are two polar eagles. Head west, where there are two caves exits. Leave through the smaller cave, and climb down the handholds to get to the polar hunting area. You can use this method to go back.
Jungle eagle: Takes you to the jungle hunting area. Like the polar eagles, they will take you to a cave with two nests. Exit through the smaller cave to arrive near the hunter tutor. You can also use a Teasing Stick with the young vine northwest of the hunting master, it will grow into a ladder so that you can access the Jungle Eagle.
Desert eagle: Takes you to the desert hunting area. Like both the polar and jungle eagles, they take you to their cave with two eagles inside. However, you can't leave that cave due to a boulder blocking the exit. You will need to find the entrance first, and push the boulder out of the way to use this method. The entrance is north of the desert phoenix (used in The Golem quest), and west of the clay mine in the desert north of Ruins of Uzer. Once the boulder is pushed out of the way, you can use this method both ways.
There are rope respawns on the three landing sites for the hunting areas, but none on the three eagles in the cave. You also do not lose your rope when you use it on any of the eagles.
