Not exactly what I was looking for, but thanks anyways. Hopefully people don't go off topic to the original question.
Sorry I couldn't be more of service to this. Your best bet is to research ancient Mayan cultures and mythology for anything related to feathered beings. Like I said, as far as I know I haven't found anything about humans growing feathers (but then again it is a large world and strange things do happen.)
