Yes, wishbones are real; they are a Y-shaped bone found in birds, particularly in poultry like chickens and turkeys. The wishbone, or furcula, forms when the two clavicles fuse together and is traditionally associated with the custom of making a wish by pulling the bone apart with another person. The person who ends up with the larger piece is said to have their wish granted.

Does dinosaurs had wishbones?

Yes. The wishbone, as known in anatomy as the furcula, is a fused clavicle bone which is shaped like the letter Y or V - was once only thought to be unqiue to birds. We now know that dinosaurs did indeed have wishbones (previously misidentified) - popular examples being the Velociraptor, Allosaurus, and even Tyrannosaurus rex.


Do dinosaurs have wishbones?

They did have a wishbone. Also a T-Rex, Velociraptor, and Allosaurus Well, in 1927, Gerhard Heilmann first discussed the idea that dinosaurs evolved into birds, however, this idea was discredited during the time, because no fossilized evidence of wishbones were present in theropodic dinosaur fossils, unlike birds. However, in the 1970s, collar and wishbones were found in theropods, such as the dromaeosaurs (raptors) and tyrannosaurs, creating the modern view of dinosaurs evolution into birds.

Do chickens you buy at the grocery store have wishbones?

All whole chickens you buy at the grocery store have wishbones. You can find them buried beneath the front of the breast meat, attached at the pointed end to the large keel-bone (or breast bone) and at the tips of the wide end to each of the wing bases. Wishbones are easier to find once the chicken is cooked, as the meat then separates from the bones more easily. In split chicken breasts, only one half of the wishbone is present; it is broken during the preparation process. The wishes from these bones have already been used by the butchers and can not be recovered, even if the two original halves can be identified and put together again.
