The owl pellet economy
Unsurprisingly, there's a job for that. But official Owl Pellet Retrievers aren't the only ones providing the goods.

Some people in the thread who grew up in rural parts of the country talked about how they'd find pellets on their properties and sell or donate them to schools. Another way schools get them is through bird sanctuaries and wildlife rehabilitation centers.

Thread About Dissecting Owl Pellets Unlocks Childhood Science Class Memories
I remember dissecting my owl pellet like it was yesterday. I was in 4th grade and I was sick at home with the chickenpox. I'd been really looking forward the owl pellet project and so when I caught my little sister's infection, I was super bummed out. My best friend at the time was nice enough to offer bringing a pellet and tools to my house so that I could do mine at home. My mom was reluctant at first, but she gave in. It was for science, after all. Feverish and covered in bright red pox, I joyfully picked apart a clump of owl vomit at my mom's kitchen table until I had a nearly-complete mouse skeleton, which I carefully glued to a paper plate.
When @Muna_Mire asked Twitter whether dissecting owl pellets was a real thing, thousands of people in the thread responded with nostalgic school stories, funny pictures, and interesting facts.
