The Burrowing Owl places the feces of other animals around its nest in order to lure insects that the owl preys upon toward the den. There is also the possibility that it signals to other owls that the burrow is currently occupied.
During the groundbreaking ceremony in the book "Hoot," Mullet Fingers was up in a tree, trying to protect the burrowing owls from being harmed by the construction.
The lair of a burrowing animal is often called a den. Other times it may be referred to as a burrow, or a sett as it is with a badger.
Burrowing animals include moles, gophers, groundhogs, rabbits, meerkats, polar bears (when they make their maternity den), and birds including the Magellanic Penguin.

Hibernating bears produce feces but do not defecate. They produce something called fecal (or poop) plug which they drop when they leave the den.
