Customer Review
“My second graders were so engaged in the owl pellets that lunch was no longer a priority. They spent over 2 hours focusing on the pellets and their finds. They were even trying to reconstruct the animal the owl had eaten. These were the best pellets I have ever ordered. Thanks for contributing to a day filled with hands-on learning.”

How are owl pellets formed?
Most birds cannot chew their food, and owls are no exception. Large owls feed on small mammals, birds, and reptiles and usually swallow their prey whole. Rather than digesting the bones, teeth, hair, or feath- ers of its prey, the owl has a digestive system
that compresses these parts into a tight pellet, which the owl regur- gitates. Owl pellets are typically found near places where owls perch, such as under trees and near barns.
