2022 : OWL PELLET KIT

November 3

I bought an owl pellet kit with an amazon gift card last Winter. I have been waiting for a sunny wind free day to open this. no joking.

It took me 50 minutes to soak wash and pick at the 2 pellets.LOTS of fur and grime soaked off. a few bones. Pix of the stages of cleaning. They are out there now drying in the sun I hope. It would take a bath in carbolic acid for me to even think about bringing this inside. LOL But glad I did it as an experiment with me and nature.

oh and they pack the mask and gloves in with the foil wrapped pellets. yikes

Day 2 

after soaking over night in peroxide I rinsed the bones again and set in the sun. Then brought them up here to sun dry on the deck. The wind on the way almost upset the dish and scattered the bones. Almost. geez. I used an empty white vinegar bottle to hold the bones and peroxide.

Owl Pellet Bones

I would have had better lighting if changing the Brita filter did not take so much time! good grief. I will try again when in the mood. But these owl pellet bones photographed separately with shadows looks pretty cool to me.

Batman!

The oddballs
