What do Owls Eat? Owl Pellet Dissection

Have you ever examined an owl pellet? What is an owl pellet? Where does it come from? Are owls the only birds who make them? Now is your chance to get your questions answered! You’re invited to take part in a new program at the Braddock Bay Raptor Research Bird of Prey Days, a guided hands-on owl pellet dissection and discussion. This is a family-friendly program where everyone will have the opportunity to dissect their own owl pellet and learn how the owl’s digestive system works. You may find bones, fur, or feathers…get ready to use your sense of curiosity and nature detective skills as you reveal what’s hidden inside.

Children must be accompanied by an adult and pre-registration is requested.

This event is part of the 2026 Bird of Prey Days program, which takes place at Braddock Bay Park, 199 East Manitou Road in Greece.
