  1. No, the reason being is because they don't have teeth, so they can only feast on the soft meat.


  2. They will swallow bones that will fit into the crop, which partially digests the food before passing it to the gizzard and then to the intestine.  The bone itself cannot be digested though, and the bird will spit it up (regurgitate it) after the flesh is off of it.

  3. No, they can only eat what they can swallow whole.  

  4.   Not certain but I think they swallow small bones however owls  tear their prey into pieces ,swallow and digest it then regurgitate the bones and hair.
