Young and old people alike should consider dissecting barn owl pellets for a unique educational experience. Dissecting owl pellets is a great way to learn about biology, anatomy, and the food chain in an interactive way. By carefully examining the remains of what owls have eaten, one can gain insight into their behavior and environment in a hands-on manner. Not only does this provide valuable knowledge of the natural world, but it also serves as an enjoyable activity that can be shared among family members or friends!

• Economy or Small -- 1.0" to 1.49". These pellets are terrific for young learners with tight budgets. They most often include a skull and a smaller selection of bones, and many teachers report filling out an entire bone chart.
• Standard or Medium—1.5" to 2.49". These pellets are the most commonly purchased and include 1-3 prey, almost always more than enough to fill out a bone chart or two. They can also include more than one prey type, as many teachers report finding a vole and a bird in one pellet.
• Premium or Jumbo -- 2.5" and larger. Premium pellets are a terrific choice for a variety of reasons. The most common cause is that the pellet is huge. We are surprised the owl survived gagging up this pellet sometimes! Because they are large, they will often include three or more prey. Moreover, because of that, a teacher can pair two students with one pellet to save money.
