To stand on (like on branches of trees.) Some birds use their feet in different ways. The feet of aquatic birds (ducks, penguins, etc.) are webbed for swimming. Predatory birds (eagles, hawks, owls) have talons which they use to catch their prey. Large Flightless Birds (ostriches, emus) use their feet for running very fast.
