The sharp, hooked [[claws]] at the end of the toes of predator avians. Birds have one talon on every toe, and they may differ in overall shape, curvature and thickness. 

Doves don't have a use for talons as they do not hunt to feed themselves; doves have claws, but no talons.

[[harpy|Harpies]] are commonly depicted with them.
