Have you ever really looked much at bird feet? I was taking some closeups today and I realized just how scarey some of them are. Scarey and cute at the same time! Some of these are old pictures that I found showing some feet close up.

How about this innocent Robin eating some dried fruit. Really long toes!

Personally I think this cute little Glodfinch wins for scariest feet! Who would have thought such daggers were associated with this little guy?

No matter how scarey the bird feet are we come up with though, I bet the birds would pick these as the scariest! :) Don't worry, she only gets to watch and drool from the INSIDE.
