Owl Pellets





My kids have a fascination with owls.  All of them.  We get all sorts of books about owls.  The big girls love the Ga'Hoole series and the little kids love the book about Owls by Gail Gibbons.

A friend gave us some owl pellets and Lily, my flower who doesn't like getting her fingers dirty, couldn't wait to dig in!

"Mom!  I found another skull!  A femur!  Look at this bone!"

She found 3 skull in her pellet.  They were carefully washed, dried and now rest with her other treasures.

What is it about owls that are so fascinating? We love them here too. How cool that they got to dissect some pellets!

That looks like fun. I bet my kids would love something like that.
