Damn, that’s interesting!

Discover what owl pellets are, why owls produce them, and what you can learn by dissecting owl pellets. Listen to a barred owl call here: An owl pellet consists of the indigestible parts of the eaten prey - mainly fur, bones, and feathers. Food is sorted in the gizzard, and what can’t be digested is then regurgitated or coughed up by the owl, also called casting a pellet. Owl pellets are coughed up approx. once per day and may contain two or three meals. Owl pellets can be purchased commercially or if you are lucky, can be found in the wild at owl roost spots. Dissecting owl pellets is a fascinating way to learn what an owl has eaten.
