Owl pellet

Not the most attractive object to post up but it is interesting. I never thought I'd find an owl pellet. A lot of it it is luck, but learning where to look also helps. I've found two now, both on the ground near the trunk of a tree. This pellet is unusual because it's got the beak of a ring-necked parakeet in it. I spotted the bright green feathers when I picked it up, but only noticed the beak later. I don't think of an owl as something which would attack another bird, or scavenge. Every day you learn something new.
