What Are Owl Pellets?
Owl pellets are the undigested parts of a bird’s food, such as hair and bones from the small animals they prey on. The pellets are regurgitated or coughed up through the beak. Students can study the owl pellets to learn more about the owl and the ecosystems in which it lives. During the dissection, the students can see and identify the tiny bones from that owl’s meal, can learn about the owl’s diet, and explore the food web. Interested in learning more?
