Talon

A talon is a sharp claw that birds, like eagles and hawks, use to catch and hold their food, just like how we use our hands to grab things.

Examples

• The eagle used its sharp talon to catch a fish swimming in the river.
• We saw a big owl at the nature center, and it had powerful talons.
• When the hawk landed on the tree, we could see its strong talon gripping the branch.
