Barn Owl Pellets
The Barn Owl does not hatch from its egg with teeth; therefore, they must swallow pieces of their prey or the whole animal at one time. They form the indigestible parts of their prey into small masses called “castings” or “pellets”. For years, scientists have studied Barn Owl pellets in order to gain a greater understanding of their predatory habits. Like fossils, barn owl pellets provide scientists with a sort of “footprint.” By performing a barn owl pellet dissection, scientists can intimately observe various aspects of a Barn Owl’s existence and predatory habits from a distance.
Barn owl pellet dissections are an excellent way for students to study in order to learn about the owl’s role as a predator in a food chain.
