| Feb 21, 2021 at 19:34 | comment | added | your mom | With dinosaurs such as the velociraptor their "hands" are sometimes called a grasping manus. Since dinosaurs and birds are related perhaps this term would work for you. | |
| Feb 21, 2021 at 19:19 | comment | added | AlexP | The autopodia of the forelimbs of birds are actually called hands, as are those of their non-avian dinosaurian ancestors. If anatomists and paleontologists call them hands, I don't see why you wouldn't. For example, "Dinosaur's digits show how birds got wings" by Matt Kaplan, in Nature News, 17 June 2009: "birds' wings are thought to form from the fusion of the second, third and fourth digits on their hands as the embryo develops". | |

| Feb 21, 2021 at 19:10 | comment | added | Joe Kerr | I would just call it a claw... human hands have been described as claws or claw-like before (albeit rarely), and birds' parts are often called claws, so that is what i would use. | |
