  7. We disseced owl pellets a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot of fun. I actually found a stinkbug head in mine.
    Laura: the only dissection that I haven't worn gloves for is the owl pellets. They're completely sterilized, and don't stink.

  11. My brother in-law, Brad, hoots to Owls.
    And they ANSWER him!
    Christine (my sister....and Brad's wife) says that he stays out in their yard at night just having a conversation with the owls!
    LOL


    I agree with Bethany, the pellets DON'T stink... I'm not so sure if they are clean though.


    NO I said I DON'T want to dissect a pig!
    LOL


    Yeh, Laurel, Owls are pretty neat!
