Why does a bird's collar bone help it fly?
In order to maintain the rigidness necessary for flight the birds collar bones have fused together making a "wishbone" of sorts. The rigidness and hollowness of the bones make flight easier on the bird.
Where is the wishbone placed in the human body?
There really isn't a wishbone (furculum) on a human. The equivalent would be if our clavicles (collarbones) were fused with our sternum.On a bird they are fused for support to aid flight.
