My male AS Eagle Owl has developed a habit of 'eating' pea gravel and the regurgitating it back up some time later. I think I understand the process in enseaming the stomach to remove fatty deposits but this seems to be happening on a daily basis, he seems bright enough but should I be concerned

i would say not but if you have concerns change the aviary material......not an owl person Bubo or Jester are your peeps.....

Jester used to do that as well when he first went out in the aviary but pretty much stopped doing it once he was being fed more whole carcasses.

how old is your AS?? and what do you normally feed him?

Lamby how old is your AS E Owl?? I dont think any harm will come into this, even though, this should stop within time as Jester mentioned his EEO did this but later stopped.
