Eagles use their talons for hunting and defense. They grasp and kill their prey by penetrating its flesh with their talons. They can open and close their talons at will when catching fish, so if a fish is too large to lift, it can be released without the danger of the eagle being pulled under the water. They are also used for grasping branches while perching, or for collecting and arranging material for a nest.
