Yes, owls regurgitate pellets consisting of undigested parts of their prey like bones, fur, and feathers. They do this because they cannot digest these parts and need to remove them from their stomach.
Owls do not have two stomachs. They have a single stomach like other birds. However, their stomach has unique adaptations that allow it to efficiently digest the prey they consume, such as regurgitating pellets of indigestible materials.
Owls produce pellets, which are indigestible parts of their food like bones, fur, and feathers that they regurgitate. These pellets help owls digest their food better by removing the indigestible parts. The pellets can be dissected to study an owl's diet and the types of animals it preys on.
to digest food
Owls swallow much of their prey whole, including indigestible parts like bones, hair, and feathers. Their digestive systems remove the nutrients from these materials, and then the waste is squeezed into small balls that are easily regurgitated. This is much safer and more efficient than if all the indigestible material, including sharp bones, had to pass through their intestines.

Whilst owls have a strong acid in their stomach, it is not strong enough to digest all of the fur, feathers or larger bones, though softer bones are digested.
because they are to hard for our stomach to digest.
owls eat their food whole, the gizzard breaks it down for the stomach to digest, separates the bones and fur so the owl can up chukka later and the nutrition can be absorbed.

bones can get stuck in your throat and it would be hard for your stomach to digest it.
They don't digest them, but they do swallow them. From there, strong acidic stomach juices dissolve them.
All owls have 2 stomachs. One is the first stomach which I think break down all of the possible food that can be eaten. The rest goes to the 2nd stomach The GIzzard and that squezes the bones, fur and what ever can not be eaten and then they puke it back up in what we call pellets
Owls swallow their prey whole, and they cannot digest the bones and hair hair so when the leftovers build up their stomach forms a small pellet and the owl coughs it up. Sort of like a hair ball. I'm an owl expert, so take it from me , you font want to disect one. =)
owl pellets are little balls of fur and bones. owls throw up thees only because they have a gizzard that cant digest it.
Owls don't digest hair. So when they swallow small animals whole, they will have to expell the hair later.
regurgitation is basically puking up. owls cannot digest bones and fur of the prey they eat so they produce "owl pellets" which look a bit like poo but are in fact balls of fur and bones that the owl has puked up.
