Owls, like most birds swallow their food whole. Since birds do not have
any teeth they cannot chew their food. Therefore, they use their strong
and sharp beaks to rip their prey apart and swallow the chunks whole.
The owl slowly digests it's meal by separating the softer materials
(such as meat) from the harder materials (such as bone). It then
regurgitates the harder material along with the indigestible items (fur,
feathers, beaks, claws) in the form of a pellet. |
