Owls

The owls are part of the family Strigiformes, which include about 200 birds of prey. Most are solitary, and nocturnal, except for some like the Burrowing owl. Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects and other birds, though some specialize in hunting fish. Owls are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Living owls are divided into two families: the typical owls, (Strigidae) and the barn-owls, (Tytonidae).

There are several ways owls (and other birds) tolerate cold (fridgid) weather.

What do owls poop look like?

Owl feces looks like a hair ball from a cat. When the owl eats its prey, all the waste items like bones, beaks, feathers, etc. are released in an owl pellet or feces ball. When I was teaching at an elementary school, we purchased owl pellets for each student. The students pulled the ball apart and found all the non-editible parts. They had a diagram showing the pieces needed to complete either a bird or mouse. That way they could tell what their owl had eaten. It was very interesting. There was no smell or odor. It was a little dusty when you were separating the feathers that held the pellets together. It was very fragile and you had to be very careful not to over look a tiny piece from the pellet. I hope this information will be helpful to you. Pookie
