Owl castings otherwise known as owl pellets consist of undigested fur, feathers, bills, claws, teeth, and bones of the animals they prey on. It takes approximately 6-10 hours for a casting to form after an owl has eaten a meal and is regurgitated anywhere from 10-16 hors later. These pellets are a good way to identify the presence of an owl's roosting spot.
A pelletorium is a place in St. Aggie's where owls are forced to pick through owl pellets, separating the bones, fur, and teeth from the rest, but it's really just to find flecks, tiny specks of a kind of metal that have powers which can be found in owl pellets.

Owl pellets are very important for scientists because when they study the components of the ball of pellet they find the bones of the animals that the owl has eaten, mostly small rodent and bats, so he can know what kind of small mouse and bat live in the area. If the scientist takes up the pellets of the owl regularly, then he can observe the variations of these populations: the growth or diminution of the populations of mice and bats is showed by the augmentation or diminution of the bones in the owl's pellets.
