By chest muscles I am assuming you mean the bird's breast. In that case they perform the same operation as the pectoralis major in humans which is horizontal adduction. Essentially bringing the limbs from the side of the body to the front. This is the motion required by the bird to push air downward during each stroke of its wing. These muscles allow the bird to fly.
