Aliasing bird_feet → feet
Link to alias

Reason:

very vague and subjective tag if you consider the fact that theres thousands different kinds of bird feet

EDIT: The tag alias bird_feet -> feet (forum #225931) has been rejected by @NotMeNotYou.

Yeah, that seems like the best fit. Was thinking of aliasing it to talons, but clearly that wouldn't work in all cases.

Nah, keep it. It's tagged consistently now, unlike three years ago.

Alias to talons instead? Seems to fit.

already considered that. the issue is that theres whole bunch of stuff in bird feet tag that doesnt really fit under talons tag:

Maybe alias it to "talons" instead. Ok, I konw that "talon" isn't a generic term for any kind of avian foot, but it is tagged as if it were, and I do not belive that it is a real problem (actually, we not even have names for the others possible shapes for avian feet, at least I couldn't find any).

Oh, sorry. I guess I typed it too slowly.

Isn't a talon a type of claw?

-1 to all suggestions so far, looking at all the posts the unifying factor in all of them is a rear facing toe that is common in many bird species but is absent in all other animal kingdoms and a rare feature in dragon,dragon based species and fictional avian based species

>>>back_toe

Your point?

Nether one is tagged or has a history of being tagged on ether one of the tags that I state are basicaly for the same kind of feature.

nothing guarantees that people wont use the tag on bird feet that do not have the back toe.

Such can be said with any tag at all, doesn't make all implications on the site false so that arguement is rather pointless. What is shown so far is that all images that have been tagged under this have all featured the backwards facing toe. In a previous thread we had this same arguement over skirt and kilt, to implicate or alias by usage, not what it means...

They actually are bird feet, especially that second one, just not yet tagged.

"Border" as in my phone loves to autocorrect even my correct words now.
Uuuugh now I know what people were always talking about.

This is why people need to learn how to spell words on their own and disable anything that interferes without being told to.

I'm guessing you meant to say "bird feet".

no ones disagreeing that they are bird feet those 2 examples, what your not getting is that the intended usage of this tag was clearly for backwards facing toes not actually bird feet in general. Otherwise there would be different types of toe configurations within this tag, not all posts having the same perching configuration that possesses a single back toe.

Can it also be tagged for dinosaurs that have similar feet? Which is pretty common, since birds evolved from dinosaurs and artists often use bird feet as a model when drawing dinos.

I'm just wondering, if we're keeping this tag, what exactly should it cover? post #1083103, for instance?

No, it wasn't. It was intended for exactly what's on the tin: Bird Feet means Bird Feet.

I'm bumping this so that maybe we can get a decision on this; it's currently conflicting with an implication/BUR request I want to make.

Bird feet are very distinctive, but they do share some traits with scalies. Generally speaking they are usually composed of a scaly surface known as scutes. Reptiles have them too. The toes are usually narrow with clear divisions between the digits. Lastly they usually are either anisodactyl or zygodactyl. On the ends of the digits are curved claws known as talons. Semi-aquatic birds may have webbed_feet, which probably can also count as bird feet too.

As for Genjar's question maybe. I usually tag exclusively to bird species, but could be applied to ancestors if they are drawn accurately enough.
