How does the barn owl eat its food?

The Barn Owl swallows its prey whole in most cases. Later it will regurgitate an owl pellet consisting of the bones and fur of its prey. If the owl is feeding chicks it will tear the prey into pieces. It might also eat prey in pieces if it is too big to swallow, however, barn owls have a very large mouth, which is not readily seen when you look at them because the part you can see, the bill, looks small.
