Hair is made up of keratin. Human beings lack the necessary enzymes to digest keratin.
no
Don't worry, the food is digestible.
Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN) is calculated by summing the digestible fiber, protein, carbohydrates, and fat content of a feed. The formula is: TDN = Digestible Crude Fiber + Digestible Crude Protein + Digestible Nitrogen-Free Extract + (Digestible Ether Extract × 2.25). This calculation provides an estimate of the energy available from the feed for an animal's maintenance and production needs.
Digestible has four syllables. Di-gest-i-ble.
After hair is taken into the mouth, it typically travels down the esophagus and into the stomach. From there, it may pass through the digestive system, but hair is not digestible and usually remains intact. It can eventually be excreted in feces. In some cases, if large amounts of hair are ingested, it may form a hairball, particularly in animals.

The owl eats his food whole (mice and such animals). The bits of the animal that are not digestible (hair, bones, etc.) are regurgitated (thrown up). What is thrown up is what we refer to as the "pellet".
