Скачать или смотреть Barred Owl Chick Regurgitates Pellets | INCREDIBLE CLOSE UP!

This barred owl chick, the first to leave the nest at approximately 4 or 5 weeks of age, was found 'branching' on the forest floor. Not long after I began filming, it regurgitates two owl pellets before climbing up a tree trunk.
Because barred owls often swallow mice, voles, small birds, and other prey whole, their digestive system has to deal with bones, fur, and feathers. The owl's gizzard performs a kind of sorting operation: soft tissues pass through to be digested, while indigestible sharp and hazardous bits like bones, teeth, and fur are formed into an oval mass. They pass back up the digestive system and are regurgitated as an owl pellet some hours later, often while the owl is at roost.
Barred owl pellets can be dissected in order to find out what the owl has recently eaten.
