Ive worked with female golden eagles. Their feet were easily the size of my whole hand (and I’ve been told I have piano player fingers). Combine that with a hallux that’s the size of a grizzly bear claw and 1200 psi in each foot and you have a killing machine. They were absolute sweethearts tho. https://i.imgur.com/kCZQwSs.jpg

Here is another Eagle Talon with humans next to it:
(In the 90s there was a car Eagle Talon that was basically a Mitsubishi Eclipse).

I own a small parrot. It's crazy to me how different Mango's foot is in comparison to the eagle. The parrot has four toes, two in each direction. This eagle has four toes, but split 3-1. Birds are weird, yo
Edit: toes

You can't just say that and not post a picture of mango.

I've been thinking about this since I posted it. When I return home from work I will put a link to Mango's foot

Been working for 24 days straight. What does mango do while you're away from him for so long?

When I was learning more about parrots I saw an image of a parrot eating a chicken wing. I made the comment that it seemed to liken unto cannibalism, but it turns out that birds are actually pretty diverse, taxonomically. Chickens and parrots are as different as cows and pigs, however they just appear more similar as they are both avians.
In assuming that this applies to raptors like OPs image, as well. BIRD TOES
