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.
They spit it up because when they eat the animal, people and animals don't eat the skeletons. Animals don't have thumbs but gorillas and monkeys do. Owls cant take off the fur with their wings. So they digest it and the fur and skeletons are together which makes an owl pellet
Owls eat all of their prey by tearing it apart with their beaks and talons. After digesting the tissue, the indigestible parts (primarily hair and bones) are formed into "pellets" by the action of their stomachs. These are regurgitated to allow room in their stomachs for more food.
Owls cough up pellets because they eat their prey whole, with bones, fur, and all. They can't digest the bones and fur so they cough it back up.
Owls bring up something called owl pellets, filled with bones and stuff they ate. In falconry, it's called a 'casting'.

How do owls look after there young and what are owl pellets?
Owls do care for their young. In most species, both the male and female will take care of the young. They will take turns, even. One will sit on the eggs while its mate brings it food. Once the eggs are hatched, they will continue to take turns in incubating the young, and catching food for their mate and their chicks. Owl pellets are, in the simplest terms, owl vomit. Owls cannot chew, and so they have to swallow their prey whole. Indigestible bits like fur, feathers, bones, and teeth, wind up in a tightly-packed 'pellet' that is regurgitated onto the ground.
Why is night vision an adaptation for owls in a desert environment?
All owls have night vision. Since the desert can get so hot, most animals, including owls, come out at evening or night to avoid the heat of day.
