Great Horned Owl 3

Of all the owls the great horned owl has the strongest talons. About 30 pounds (13,000 grams) of force are required to release the owl's grip
on an object. Great horned owls have 500 pounds per square inch of crushing power in their talons. A normal man has about 60.
If their feet could go around a human skull, they would be capable of crushing it.
