It's a football-shaped object regurgitated by owls, which contains the skeleton of at least one owl meal, be it a mouse, shrew, or small bird. A professionally collected, sterilized pellet comes with a lively, illustrated book filled with facts and activities about these amazing birds. For ages 8-12.Be amazed! Be a scientist! Be grossed out!

 Great book for young boys September 10, 2008
What young boy doesn't want to learn about gross stuff?! Got this for my 8 year old nephew and he was ecstatic. Perfect Christmas gift!

This kit is an exciting way to discuss owls with your students or children. The book does a great job talking about owls and their behaviors. I bought two kits. I put one in my library at work and used the other for camp. The owl pellet gives a good hands on experience for students and keeps them interested in learning more about owls and even birds in general.
LOVED IT!! March 29, 2007

I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. It appears to be designed to appeal to kids, but turns out to also have stunning array of fantastic information, often more than you find in "serious" owl books (e.g., "North American Owls", or "Owls the Silent Fliers"). Also, maybe less than half of the book is directly about "owl puke", the rest being jam-packed with sections on owl calls, hearing and vision, hunting technique, how they stay cool, mating, digestion, puking in the animal kingdom (that's right, horses can't puke), a recipe for "owl puke" candy, etc. And naturally if your intent is to examine some owl pellets, then of course this is a great book for that too. Despite the great (and accurate) technical content, it would not be intimidating for a youngster to read. And it's sprinkled with humor. Highly recommended (by someone over 40).

Owl Puke(TM) is a wonderful hunters tool used for trapping pigeons which feed on the poop and vomit of nighttime owls, which by the way, has plenty of calcium and protein. Just spread this out on the snow and wait a few moments and about one hundred pigeons will fly there instantly. Suggestion: buy about 100 packs of this because actually its rather tasty.
