Thank you.
A good entry point to find fun bits.

What happens to the indigestible material?
Indigestible material left in the gizzard such as teeth, skulls, claws, and feathers are too dangerous to pass through the rest of the owl’s digestive tract. To safely excrete this material, the owl’s gizzard compacts it into a tight pellet that the owl regurgitates. The regurgitated pellets are known as owl pellets.

Thanks.

Maybe someday I can win the big prize with that answer in a quiz show like in National Lampoon's European Vacation.
