Parrots use their claws and toes for several different purposes. The primary use is for gripping perches, and climbing.

Some parrots will grab things in one foot to make them easier to eat or gnaw. Owners of larger parrots like macaws, amazons, and cockatoos usually provide their pets with foot-sized toys to provide mental stimulation. In the wild, parrots are more likely to grab nuts and large pieces of fruit with their feet.

Parrots will sometimes fly while carrying objects with their feet, but usually carried objects are held in the bird's beak because the bird needs both feet to land properly.

Parrots will also use their feet to groom their heads and beaks.

To enable parrots to do all of the above, their have uniquely shaped feet. Not only do they have very sharp claws, but two of their toes face forwards while two of them face backwards. This helps them to better grip branches, climb and hold food. Some parrots are known for the way they hang upside down and "twirl" around telephone wires. No other birds can do this.
