After digesting the nutritious parts of the small animals they eat, they regurgitate all of the undigested parts in a small pellet, which usually consist of fur, feathers and bones.

Owl Pellets
..............Owls are not the only birds that cast pellets, more than 300 species of birds cast pellets, such as hawks, robins, and tree sparrows................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Did you know….? Owls swallow their prey only to regurgitate them later?
Because owls don’t tear their prey to pieces, there is always a complete skeleton of at least one rodent in every pellet.
