No owls do not have teeth they have a large sharp beak.

No creature of the avian family (that's birds) have teeth. This includes owls.

The only bird that had teeth died out a long time ago.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Owls swallow their prey whole, digest it, then spit out the indigestible parts (bones and fur) as a pellet.

Other birds that need to break up their food (because they eat seeds etc) have a 'gizzard', which is a thick musseled structure with a thick internal skin in which food is ground up in combination with grit and stones that the bird has also swallowed.

Yes, they do. All birds have lungs. Reptiles have lungs too, and both birds and mammals have evolved from reptilian ancestors.

Do barn owls have teeth?

No. Birds do not have teeth. Barn Owls swallow their prey whole, or tear off pieces using their beak. They are unable to digest bones and fur, so they regurgitate pellets of indigestable material. Other flesh eating birds also create pellets: hawks, falcons, gulls, herons, egrets, eagles, corvids, vultures.

Owls usually eat their prey alive. They mainly go after small animals like mice and squirrels. Owls don't have teeth, so they swallow their prey whole. If they have a larger animal, like a rabbit, then they rip it into pieces before swallowing it.
