Answer:

crab shells, fish scales, and fish bones might be found. And pieces of trash like chip paper, rubber bands, and tin foil.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pellet can be described as a compressed mass of a substance, which is usually have round shape and small size.

it is understood that the pellet is formed when the birds catches the prey and swallow it in large chunks . Then, they digest the parts of the prey that are digestible, which goes down their esophagus, then through their proventriculus , and finally into the gizzard. The parts that are not digestible form a pellet.

It should be noted that the pellet is stored for several hours, after which it is regurgitated.
