Owls have an organ called a gizzard which grinds up all their food and wraps up the bones of the owl's prey in a neat package since they don't have teeth. Then, they just throw up the little package of bones, called a pellet.
Owls do not chew their food, smaller prey is swallow whole and larger prey is ripped in to pieces. The owl has something called a gizzard, its function is to hold things that can be digested like bones and fur. The non digestible food is stored and condensed in the gizzard until it is regurgitated by the owl.
An owl's digestive system works slightly different from that of other birds. For one, an owl does not have a crop, which is a sack of skin in the throat for storing food for later consumption. Instead, everything it eats goes into the system directly. At this point, the food enters the proventriculus (stomach producing acids and enzymes), and moves on to the Ventriculus, or gizzard. Here the food is ground and filtered, and the soft parts of the food are fed further into the system of the owl. The bones, teeth and other hard materials are compacted into a pellet, which the owl must first regurgitate before eating again.
They have 2 stomachs and 1 uses acid to break down the food they eat and the other to squease the bones and feathers in to a pellet.
it swallows it and coughs up the bones in a little ball
the snake hooks its teeth into the prey and swallows it the owl uses acid in there stomach just like humans
Owls digest there food by swallowing small rocks and the rocks staying in there throats to grind up the food.
By moving the body and digesting meals.
Yes, owls have a nervous system.
The resting and digesting division of the autonomic nervous system is the parasympathetic division. Resting and digesting is also referred to as feed and breed.

Because they need to break their food down by digesting it and the part a owl cannot digest come up the owls throat this is called a owl pellet.

the parts that dustiest your food is the digestive system!!
The mouth and the stomach.
No, the parasympathetic nervous system is referred to as the "rest and digest" system
After digesting all the edible parts, they cough the indigestible parts up into a compounded ball known as an owl pellet.
