During our recent Bird Unit, we focused on owls. We learned that they're birds of prey, we learned that babies are called owlets, we learned about what they eat and dissected owl pellets! An owl eats their prey whole but their bodies can't digest all of the prey. So the extra parts are packed together in the owl, and they spit it up. That's the owl pellet. By disecting an owl pellet,we can see the bones of what was eaten. The kids thought this was so cool and a little gross!
