We did a project in 5th grade where we dissected owl pellets. you will find animal bones, and other things. we found the skull of a mouse and things like that.
If you look close, you can see the skeleton of what ever the owl ate. By the shape of the skeleton you can tell if the owl ate a mouse or a rat or anything else.

One important thing you can learn from studying an owl pellet is learning what animal the bones in the owl pellet belong to.

The A hole
The owl pellet remans in the owls rectum until the owl decides it would be a good time to puke it out.
The outside of an owl pellet is covered in a thin slime, to assist the owl with ejecting the pellet, the undigested fur or feather tends to be the next layer, with the undigested bones on the inside.
The owl pellet shows what the owl has eaten.
