Owl Pellets Like all birds, owls have no teeth to chew their food. Their food is usually swallowed whole, or in large chunks. In the stomach, the indigestible bones, fur and insect exoskeletons are formed into oval-shaped masses, called pellets. Not all these species are officially recognised, and indeed some may be open to debate. I have also listed any alternatives and former classifications that I know of.
Most owls sleep in the daytime and hunt at night.
Owls have round heads, big eyes and flat facial discs. The facial discs reflect light and help them see at night. Grade Five Teacher, Gander Academy Gander, Newfoundland, Canada.
