Default Please help with skull identification

Howdy y'all,
I was wondering if you could please help me to identify these skulls that I found in my cat's outdoor house today. I'm not positive that they are skulls, but I just guessed that because it looks like they have eye sockets and nasal openings on the sides. Plus I have no idea what bone it might be if it's not a skull.

That styrofoam plate is a standard sized 8" plate.







I'm in IL near Chicago. Thanks!

They appear to be hip sockets from some kind of bird.. Prolly chicken left over from someones roast.. I do not believe they are any form of skulls anyways.. If you look at the ones showing the underneath of them you can see where the back bone starts..

It's a chicken pelvis.



I've broiled a few birds in my day...
