The Owlet Casts a Pellet 🦉 4/14/22 14:52
A pellet is when a dark projectile is formed of the indigestible food items (fur, feathers, bone, teeth, etc) which are compressed in the gizzard for several hours, then it moves back up into the glandular stomach where it stays for up to 10 hours before being regurgitated. Once the pellet is cast, the digestive process is finished, leaving the owl able to feed again. Pellets are different sizes depending on the amount of prey consumed within a few hours of each other.
