PREORDER Owl Investigators: Whooo Was for Dinner? Embroidered Patch

📦 PREORDER ITEM- Expected to ship in early Oct. This item will ship as soon as it arrives. Ship dates are estimates.

The evidence is in the pellet.

The Owl Investigators: Whooo Was for Dinner? Patch turns one of nature’s most fascinating leftovers into a hands-on scientific mystery.

Owls are incredible hunters, but they can’t digest everything they eat. Fur, feathers, bones, teeth, and other indigestible materials are compacted together and later regurgitated as an owl pellet. And tucked inside that pellet are clues just waiting to be investigated.

With a few simple tools and some careful detective work, kids can dissect an owl pellet, separate and identify the bones they discover, and use the evidence to determine what their owl may have eaten. Was it a mouse? A vole? A shrew? Maybe more than one animal?

Each discovery opens the door to even bigger questions. Kids can explore owl adaptations, predator-and-prey relationships, food chains, skeletal anatomy, and the important role owls play in an ecosystem.

And because every pellet contains different evidence, no two investigations are exactly alike.

Grab your tools, examine the clues, and see if your junior investigators can solve the mystery:
