Well, usually it is a pen made out of a feather, and also known as a Quill pen. Before the advent of some of our current (and very cool) writing instruments, people made their own, calligraphy-like pens out of feathers... dipped them in ink, and then wrote. Feathers have a natural area where more ink can be held than say, a stick. ... So they worked well. They still make pens out of feathers now, but it is less about the functional aspects than about the look. Now people think they look stylish, so you will still see them used as pens in weddings sometimes, even when they actually just hooked a dumb Bic-like pen to the end of a feather. Here is an interesting article about quill pens: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quill_pen
