Alula
The tuft of feathers on the first digit of a bird is called the "alula." The alula is a small group of feathers that are located on the thumb or first digit of a bird's wing. It plays a crucial role in controlling the bird's flight, particularly during low-speed flight and landing, by helping to reduce turbulence and increase lift.
Yes. This procedure is often called "declawing". Declawing involves major surgery, as it is not just the removal of claws; it is actually the amputation of the first digit of each of the cat's toes. The claw is tightly attached to the bone, so much so that it is impossible to remove the claw on its own, so the bone attached to the claw is removed as well. In human terms, it would be the equivalent of chopping off each finger tip at the first knuckle. Due to the physical and mental problems that can develop due to this procedure, declawing a cat is a highly controversial, and more and more veterinarians do not offer the service. Many countries around the world as well as some states in the United States have banned this procedure as it is deemed unnecessary and inhumane, unless it is needed for a legitimate medical reason.

Birds wings are highly modified hands with the bones of the digits fused together. Chickens typically have a tiny claw on what would be digit II of a hand. Birds evolved from small theropod dinosaurs which had clawed hands. Many birds have claws on their wings, but they are hidden under their feathers. The ostrich has functional claws on digits I and II.
Frogs have 4 fingers and 1 vestigial finger, and 5 toes + 1 vestigial toe. The vestigial fingers and toes are positioned on the inner side (bode-side) of the hand/foot, pointing towards the body. In live specimens these digits are not visible, only when a frog is dissected it can be seen.

In zoology, a digit is commonly referred to as a toe or a finger. Digits are the segmented body parts attached to the limbs of animals that end in a claw, nail, or hoof.
The first, or preaxial, digit of the fore limb, corresponding to the hallux in the hind limb; the thumb. In birds, the pollex is the joint which bears the bastard wing.

The value of a digit in a number is called its place value.
In any two-digit multiplication sum, for example, 3 x 2 = 6, the first digit is called the multiplier, the second digit is called a multiplicand, and the third digit, the answer, is the product.

Just that - a 26-digit number. There is no special name for that.
