not a fictional town. A thing I found in an owl pellet today during a walk in the woods.

It's about half an inch long. I assume it's a mouse.

Lovely find Foot.

Last school term, Class 1 pulled apart owl pellets because one of the class comes from a birdwatching family. I remember it specifically because he is in my class now (amazing child BTW).

But working next door, all I heard when supervising outside learning was they they had been looking at owl poo. POO!

[FONT="Arial"]- No, no, not poo[/FONT]
[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]- Yes! Lots of poo! Poo with bones in![/FONT]-
[FONT="Arial"]- No, pellets are different, they come out of an owl's mouth[/FONT]
[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]- I know! Owls poo from their mouths! Ewwwwwwwwww![/FONT]

Did we just happen upon this find, or do we have a 'special' hobby involving owl pellets?

Not owl poo, just bull shit.

It's owl puke.

Yebbut, children find poo funny.
Puke is wretched.

That mouse (or other small forest creature) was clearly not brushing twice a day as recommended by the American Dental Association ...
