"That little bird has red feathers."

Translation: 那只小鸟有红色的羽毛。

[RuciGluci]

am I a colourblind or is Duo really red?

[KimberlyChan2424]

No Duo isn't red, he's green.

[deactivated user]

It's probably not about Duo himself but about his "birdie". You just do not see it normally, so not a lot of people manage to guess right away what the sentence is about.

[BZH1423]

Would one still use 只 as the measure word/classifier for that type of "birdie," though? XD

[viola737517]

Yes, the word 只 can be the classifier for the ''Birdie''
To learn more: 条，根 are correct too.

[xiamingchen]

The pronounciation of 只 is not correct.

那只小的鸟有红色的羽毛

[Duolingo-friends]

the word "只's sound should be number one and ot four so its wrong.

[maartendoc]

羽 (yǔ) = feather/plume
毛 (máo) = hair/feather
羽毛 (yǔmáo) = feather/plumage

Not to be confused with:
五毛 (wǔmáo) = hired internet commenter/person relaying government propaganda on Internet sites
