Join us for a hands-on owl pellet dissection event for youth and their families! Owl pellets are not poop! They’re compact bundles of fur, feathers, and bones that owls cough up after eating. Using tweezers and other simple tools, participants will carefully pull apart real owl pellets to uncover tiny bones and even skulls from the animals owls eat.

We’ll use identification charts to help match bones and skulls to different prey species, just like real scientists do. Participants will learn about owl diets, food webs, and what pellets can tell us about ecosystem health, and you’ll get to keep the bones you find to take home.
