I bought Emma Owl Puke for Christmas. It's a book that comes with Owl Puke and a Bone Sorting Tray.
I think that it's probably one of the strangest gifts that I have ever bought her.

This has become such a standard lab in schools that our school corporation buys owl "pellets" (that's what they're called in the catalogs) in bulk. It's a great learning experience for just about any age, and it's spawned a cottage industry of people who clomp through the woods looking for owl habitats, to hunt the pellets.
So if you're looking for a part-time job, PSM....

The back of the box says that the pellet is "professionally collected and heat-sterilized for complete safety." I think that is how I prefer my pellets.

Leah went to an Intergenerational Elderhostel on Life Sciences w/ my Mom when she was 9 or 10 -- they did the owl pellet dissection.
This always makes me think of the common misheard lyric in the Beach Boys' Help Me Rhonda -- "Since she put me down there's been owls pukin' in my bed....!"
Mom's been one of those "Hostile Elders" since she retired almost 20 years ago, and has done at least one intergenerational program with each grandchild.

The Little Guy performed that lab last summer as part of his three-week Be A Scientist class. --Bobmrkelley23 wrote:This has become such a standard lab in schools that our school corporation buys owl "pellets" (that's what they're called in the catalogs) in bulk.
