The owl must regurgitate the indigestible bones, fur, feathers, etc. by forming a pellet before eating another meal. We had a chance to explore sterilized owl pellets and identify the bones of the prey animals. It was not unusual to find more than one skull per pellet. The kids did a great job using tMar 18, 2026

Owls swallow their prey whole or in large pieces, and when the pellet is regurgitated, the undigestible pieces reappear. Bones, hair, and exoskeletons are common in owl pellets and can help observers identify the type of prey consumed as well as where it might have been caught. Many found more than one skull in their pellets. The group had fun together dissecting sterilized Barn Owl pellets and takMar 18, 2026
