Best Answer

Elf owls are the world's lightest owls - they are extremely small, weighing in at 1.4 ounces. They are only about 5 inches long, and their wingspan averages in at around 10 inches.

By comparison, great horned owls are one of the larger owl species. They weigh in at around 3 pounds (48 ounces) on average, with a wingspan of a little over four feet.

Basically, by weight, a great horned owl weighs around 34 times more than an elf owl, and its wingspan is a little more than 4 times as wide.

Is it true that the bigger the owl the larger the pellet?

Yes, that is true. Think about it, an Elf owl can't eat as much as a snowy owl, or a Great Horned owl. Therefore, an Elf owl has to eat less, hence, smaller amount of undigestables in the stomach. Then this will result in a smaller Pellet. I hoped that this helped!
