What is a "talon"?
A talon is a sharp, curved claw found on the feet of some birds of prey, including eagles, hawks, and falcons. These claws are used to catch and kill prey, and they are particularly effective for grasping and holding onto smaller animals such as rodents or fish. The talon is characterized by a sharp, pointed tip and a slightly curved shape that is ideal for piercing and tearing. The bird's toes can be flexed to extend or retract the talon, allowing for greater control over the prey. The size and shape of the talon can vary depending on the species of bird, with larger birds generally having larger and more powerful talons.
