How are owl pellets formed? Most birds cannot chew their food, and owls are no exception. Large owls feed on small mammals, birds, and reptiles and usually swallow their prey whole. Rather than digesting the bones, teeth, hair, or feathers of its prey, the owl has a digestive system that compresses these parts into a tight pellet, which the owl regurgitates. Owl pellets are typically found near places where owls perch, such as under trees and near barns.
