The anatomy of bird legs and feet is diverse, encompassing many accommodations to perform a wide variety of functions. Most birds are classified as digitigrade animals, meaning they walk on their toes, rather than the entire foot. Some of the lower bones of the foot (the distals and most of the metatarsal) are fused to form the tarsometatarsus – a third segment of the leg, specific to birds. The upper bones of the foot (proximals), in turn, are fused with the tibia to form the tibiotarsus, as over time the centralia disappeared. The fibula also reduced.

  • Der Fuß der Vögel oder Lauf weist eine Reihe morphologischer Unterschiede zum Fuß anderer Landwirbeltiere auf. Die Anzahl der Zehen variiert artspezifisch zwischen zwei und vier, Letzteres ist die Regel. Der Vogelfuß ist zumeist unbefiedert und mit Hornschuppen bedeckt. Am Ende der Zehen sind Krallen ausgebildet. Bei Greifvögeln werden beide Füße auch als „Fänge“ (einzeln Fang) bezeichnet, da sie zum Ergreifen und Schlagen der Beute verwendet werden. (de)
  • 對趾足,又稱對生趾(Zygodactyl),此種鳥類的腳趾兩趾向前兩趾向後的排列方法為對生趾,通常是樹棲性的鳥類擁有對生趾,以方便在樹枝間攀爬,例如啄木鳥、貓頭鷹、杜鵑、鸚鵡以及部分的雨燕。台灣特有種五色鳥就是對生趾之一的鳥種。 (zh)

  • Zygodactyl is een configuratie van de poten van bepaalde dieren waarbij de tenen of vingers paarsgewijs tegenover elkaar staan. De benaming komt van het Griekse woord ζυγόν zugón, dat juk of paar betekent en δάκτυλος dáktulos, dat vinger of teen betekent. Zygodactyl betekent aldus gepaarde (zygo-) tenen (-dactylus). (nl)
