Things I've seen go with 降{ふ}る are rain, snow and leaves, e.g. 雪が降る。

I'm thinking 降る is used for small and light things. So, perhaps 'feathers'
could be used like so 羽が降る, but apples would be りんごが落{お}ちる。

Appreciate your responses. Thanks!

question
words
What's the difference between 降{ふ}る and 落{お}ちる?
See [降る](http://kotobank.jp/word/%E9%99%8D%E3%82%8B) for its meaning
explanation. It basically says that something, such as rain or snow, comes
falling down over a wide area. The substance falling must be small, but
plentiful.  
Please note that the explanation given on the website cited includes the word
落ちる. Hence, 降る is the more specific verb that must fulfill more conditions in
order to be used correctly.
