Furcula

Forked bone found in birds and other dinosaurs; fusion of the two clavicles

The furcula or wishbone is a forked bone found in most birds and some species of non-avian dinosaurs, and is formed by the fusion of the two clavicles. In birds, its primary function is in the strengthening of the thoracic skeleton to withstand the rigors of flight.
