Hi, Mrs. Konik This is what I think about the owl pellet project.

When I first started the project I thought that it was disturbing that it was all covered in fur and the bones were sticking out all over. When we dissectwide them and put them together and made our skeletons we learned a lot about the barn owl and what our owl ate. I learned all about the owl, the owl, pellet, and the prey.

Before I didn't that they actually had another stomach to digest the bones and the fur and then reguratate it in 7 hours after it ate the organism. I also learned that they have to not eat all of the mice and vole and other animals because other wise the population would go down. The community of the birds, the apex predators, are part of the ecosystem and that is why they let the prey grow up and let them have babies. They are all in a habitat that relies on each other that is what I say about our owl project.
