Owl pellets are cast off from the owl's mouth, not the rear. They are made of undigested fur and bones of their prey; typically mice, voles, rats. Sterilized
pellets can be purchased from science supply stores for dissecting in classrooms.
Great fun and great discussions arise about what the owl did eat as they examine
the contents of the pellet.

owl pellets
All birds of prey must make pellets because they cannot digest the bone and fur. So all owls make pellets.
Owls have a digestive system that cannot fully break down prey, so they regurgitate undigested parts, like bones and fur, as pellets. This adaptation allows owls to efficiently process food while removing indigestible material from their system. Owls can then expel these pellets as a way to maintain their digestive health.

Yes, owls do regurgitate pellets. These pellets consist of undigested materials such as bones, fur, and feathers from their prey. After digesting their food, owls expel these pellets through their mouths, typically a few hours after eating. This behavior helps them eliminate indigestible parts of their meals.
Its because the owls are fiven a distinct thermoth which reproduces the mucus creating a distinguish for them to be used for only for their pellets!
