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.

Can you get a cat's claw stuck in your skin?
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.

The ostrich has functional claws on digits I and II.
