   What do barn owl pellets look like?

   • Barn Owl pellets are typically about the size of a man’s thumb and black when fresh. Pellets often contain the remains of 4 or 5 small mammals. Pellet dissection can tell you exactly what a Barn Owl has eaten. Pellets often accumulate at roosting or nesting sites, where owls can hide away and shelter from the weather.

   How do Barn owls eat?

   • Barn Owls are unable to digest the fur and bones of their prey, which they usually swallow whole. The indigestible parts are regurgitated (cast up through the beak) in the form of an owl pellet. After feeding, producing a pellet takes 6 hours or more. After each night’s hunting an owl regurgitates 1 or 2 pellets.

   Most Barn Owl pellets are found inside roost and/or nest sites (e.g. in buildings, tree or rock cavities). Pellets found outdoors are much less likely to be from a Barn Owl unless they are directly below an entrance hole (e.g. a hole into a tree cavity or nestbox) or a well-used hunting perch.

   They swallow their prey whole, absorb all the nutrients from the flesh and then, about 6 hours later, cough up a few lumps containing everything which is no use to them. These lumps are called owl pellets. They usually produce 1 or 2 pellets per night.
