This is a screen capture from a film I'm watching -- "The Third Man", a
1949 noir set in Austria right after WWII. A bird is being carved. What
is the rod that my arrow is pointing to, that sticks perpendicularly out
of the fork. I've not seen this before. But, of course, I do live under
the sea (not far from an octopus's garden).

Re: to remove or not to remove ... Some of you might remember previous references to an eagle - well apparently it had an arrow in its wing - a fact I conveneiently ... Birds' wings are a bit tricky to get an arrow through in the sense you seem to require. ... On the plus side, if that were the only part injured, it's likely the bird could not only continue flying, but could do so with relatively little impairment, depending on the type of arrowhead used. ... In theory, you might be able to get the arrow between the two bones of the lower wing, but this strikes me as being likely to break at least one of the bones, which wouldn't serve the purpose. ...
