About the event
At this hands on session there will be owl colouring in, mask making and owl pellet dissection. Owls produce pellets of fur and bone which they are unable to digest. They cough these up, and by dissecting these pellets we will be looking for skulls and other fascinating insights into their diet. Please note - there will be live footage of nesting owls but the event will NOT include owl handling.
