This is a case where the obvious doesn't work, but the error is 
misleading, and the eventual success message makes you wonder why the 
obvious didn't work.

>get feather from vulture
That seems to be a part of the tail.

>get feather from vulture's tail
You ain't able to see no such thing.

>get feather from tail
That seems to be a part of the tail.

>get feather
You pluck a feather from the vulture's tail, and it twists its head 
momentarily to glare at you before plunging back to its task of devouring 
the rotting meat.

Taking something from an assembly is in fact routed to another verb, removing 
it from. 
I've redirected moving it from to taking (ignoring the item from which it is 
taken). That 
seems to work, and is generally applicable, for instance "take tobacco from 
tin".
