What bone provides a mounding point for the birds powerful flight muscles?
Its chest.
What part of the chicken is the kill bone?
The keel is the large bone you see when you eat a roasted chicken and pull the breast meat away from the large flat bone that looks like the keel of a boat. The keel is the "breast bone"....flattened and elongated in birds to give a place for the wing muscles to attach...allowing more power for flight. It is also used to check how healthy a bird is....if you can feel the keel easily and it seems to be protruding, the bird is underweight. If you can feel solid muscle and body weight on either side, making the keel just a line found between muscles if you can find it at all, then the bird is eating alright and keeping weight.
How does a birds breast bone aid in flight?
It makes Keel which is boat shaped that reduces friction in flight and flight muscles are attached to it.
Is keel of a chicken dark meat?
The keel is a bone in the middle of the chicken breast. It should not be served as a meal, but is acceptable for use in the making of stock. ***** There is white meat on the keel.
How does a keel billed toucan defend itself from it's enemies?
The keel billed toucan groups together with other birds and scare off the predator. Many birds together scare the bird
What are the different pieces in a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket?
Breast, wing, thigh, leg, and some locations serve the keel.
What muscle is attached to the keel of a bird?
A keel or carina in bird anatomy is an extension of the sternum (breastbone) which runs axially along the midline of the sternum and extends outward, perpendicular to the plane of the ribs. The keel provides an anchor to which a bird's wing muscles attach, thereby providing adequate leverage for flight. Keels do not exist on all birds; in particular, some flightless birds lack a keel structure.Historically, the presence or absence of a pronounced keel structure was used as a broad classification of birds into two classes:Carinatae (from carina, "keel"), having a pronounced keel; and ratites (from ratis, "raft" - referring to the flatness of the sternum), having a subtle keel structure or lacking one entirely. However, this classification has fallen into disuse as studies have shown that many flightless birds have grown (from GOD) from flighted birds. The current definition of Carinatae now includes all extant birds.Does that help you? Tell me if it does. Thanks Everyone! God Bless!!
What predators does the keel-billed toucan have?
the predators are weasels ,birds of prey and humans
Why do most flightless birds not need a large keel?

What are the characteristics of flightless birds?
Flightless birds have a small keel and wings.
What predators does the Keel Billed Toucan have?
humans large birds wild cats owls
Why do ratites have wings even though they cannot fly?
Ratites are still birds: therefore, they still have the same skeletal structure as birds, which includes wing bones and wings. The difference is in their physiological structure. They lack the chest muscles and the keel bone on the chest which is necessary to give them the lift that would enable them to fly.
