Bryngarw Country Park - Wildlife Wednesday Owl Pellet Dissection
Dissect pellets to find out what owls eat!
Owls are carnivorous birds that swallow their prey whole. Since they cannot digest fur, bones, teeth, and feathers, these parts are compacted into a pellet and coughed up! Carefully separate the pellets to discover bones of small animals, compare them to ID charts to identify mice, shrews, voles and even other birds.
Children must be supervised by an adult. All materials and tools are provided.
Ages 5+
