Owl Pellets, Pack 10

Owl Pellets are undigested parts of an owl's food which are regurgitated, their contents varies depending upon the owl's diet, often containing bones, hair, feathers and even complete skulls. Owl pellets have virtually no smell and are ideal for students to dissect, giving a fascinating insight into the diet of a bird of prey. This practical can be tied to habitat, adaptation and food chain studies.

To help enable students to identify the bones found in the pellets we recommend this Field Studies Council folding guide which also features a comprehensive guide to British Owls including their habitats. See code VI230100.

Collected from wild owls in Shropshire to ensure varied contents - owls kept in captivity are likely to have a far less varied diet.

Each pellet is individually wrapped in foil and heat sterilised at 120°C (250°F) for 4 hours. As a natural product, size will vary between 3 and 8 cm long.
