Eastern Barn Owl pellets and dissection kits are available for purchase.
Dissecting owl pellets in science classes is a hands-on way for students to learn about ecosystems, food chains and the natural world. By examining the undigested bones and fur contained in pellets, students gain insights into an owl’s eating habits and understand predator-prey relationships. This practical experience can spark curiosity, improve observational skills and make learning science more engaging and fun.
