The mission of the International Festival of Owls is to:

- spark a personal connection to owls and the environments we share with them

- provide financial support for the Houston Nature Center

- stimulate tourism in the Houston area.

When owls eat, they eat fur, feathers, bones, and all.  Once or twice a day, depending on the species, they throw up a pellet consisting of the indigestible portion of their meal--the fur or feathers and bones.  By taking a pellet apart, you can figure out from the bones what the owl had for supper. 

This class is offered on Saturday, March 6 at 12:00 PM at the elementary school.

The cost is $5/pellet in addition to an admission button.  Limit 30 pellets.  Pre-registration required.  (More than one person can dissect a single pellet.)
