All birds have claws on their feet and the claws can serve various purposes depending upon the bird. The one thing that all claws do for almost all birds, is allow them to grip and hold fast to the branch or other object they are perched on. In the case of toucans, it is to allow them grip so they can perch and walk along the branches they generally feed from without falling.
