Zygodactyl
Zygodactyl refers to a type of foot structure found in certain birds, where the toes are arranged in pairs, with two toes facing forward and two toes facing backward. This arrangement allows for strong grasping abilities and enhanced agility, particularly useful for perching and moving through trees. Zygodactyl feet are typically found in birds of prey, woodpeckers, parrots, and other climbing or perching birds.
