Do you find feathers as effective tools for tickling?

I mean, the bottom pointy part does tickle, but when the feather does stroke my feet, I don't really squirm as much compare to other things used as tickling. Maybe if the feather was stiff it would make me squirm. Other than that, I personally don't see it as a great tickle tool. But what about others who have experienced being tickled by a feather? Does it tickle you or no?
