Owl pellets are a natural occurring byproduct of an owls digestive system. Owls eat a lot of things that they can’t naturally digest. Things like fur, feathers,claws, teeth, and bones are typically regurgitated in a pellet for about 6 to 10 hours after conception. These pellets are easily dissected and can be a lot of fun as peer into the diet of an owl. If you can’t find your own wild owl pellets, don’t fret you can also purchase them. Trailsloggers sells packaged owl pellets that include some basic tools and a bone identification chart. Dissecting these pellets is a lot of fun for the entire family.
