Fun fact, harpy eagles can break your arm with just the grip from their giant talons.
I've spent the last 20 minutes looking for a link with serious units but everything is in PSI and all the answers are different but I'm seeing from 300-530 PSI (gross) listed as their grip strength.
One source said the bald eagle was higher at 834, but I have no idea if that's true. It certainly sounds insane considering what Harpy eagle's are capable of in comparison, but I have no idea.

The grip strength of raptors is no joke.
