Why worry about that? People have been doing balancing acts ever since the first proto-human stacked a couple of rocks together. I mean, think about some of those really extreme houses of cards and things like that.
She uses those same branches over and over again - you can see where they've been whipped/bound with cord so they won't split - so she knows their approximate balance points. The only thing that was likely a little bit of a "trick" was that I think the core of the feather may have been filled with something to give it a little heft.
