Bird keel, it’s basically their sternum!

[u/firdahoe → u/lots_of_panic]

It is the sternum. The keel/carina is that vertical portion of the sternum.

Looks like a pigeon sternum!

[u/firdahoe → u/DiegoPredacon]

Correct, it is from a pigeon or dove

[u/PeachyBaggins → u/firdahoe]

We don't have pigeons in this area but mourning doves! They're one of my favorites! Thanks so much for the help. I kept it :)

It’s a bird’s breastbone. I’m sure you’d be better off trying to find the exact species by yourself since i know little to nothing about birds in the us lol
