Adult Only Owl Pellet Dissection

Wait… What’s an Owl Pellet? Let’s clear this up - owl pellets are not poo! They’re the parts of an owl’s prey that it can’t digest, like bones, fur, and feathers, which are coughed up in a compact pellet. By dissecting them, you can find out exactly what the owl ate, sometimes even identifying tiny skulls and bones of mice, voles, and shrews! What to Expect: • Hands-on dissection of real owl pellets • All materials and equipment provided • Identification guides • Insights into local small mammals • A chance to contribute to real science as part of the “Searching for Shrews” project run by The Mammal Society Who Can Join? • Suitable for ages 18 and up • Booking required via Eventbrite only- sorry, no drop-ins! Whether you're a budding biologist or just love nature, this is a unique opportunity to explore the secret lives of owls and contribute to real wildlife research.
