Owl pellets....






On Monday at the science centre I bought a pack of owl pellets, thinking they were exactly like the pack of 'owl puke' that we did a few years back...unfortunately I didn't read the pack properly, and these were in fact synthetic owl pellets and were balls of dryer lint with plastic bones in them....not very good at all - but Sam still had fun discovering the bones inside and then sorting through them using the enclosed diagram, to work out which animal we had, and which bone was which, to form the skeleton!!  

Worth doing if you've never looked at owl pellets before, but to be honest the 'owl puke' kit with the REAL pellets is MUCH better than this useless kit!!!  ;)
