Alot really depends on the size of the finished piece, what kind of look you are going for, etc.
Unless the view is really up close, you wouldn't see that much detail. Doing tons of detail on an object that's supposed to be a distance from the viewer looks as bad as doing the opposite; no detail on something that is supposed to be up close.
Using feathers, leaves, torn cardboard or paper can also help you keep a pretty realistic look. Homework and study of photos of your species definitely helps too.
