The last meal was a scorpion. The male owl may have been making certain that his prey was dead before offering it to his mate, therefore avoiding a fatal sting to mom or chicks. Just sayin’...

One disturbing thing about the sound effects of the video. Elf owls are silent fliers, yet the sound effect guys have added a rather loud swooshing sound as if it is a hawk, or some other loud flying bird.

No, not really. You need to remember that yes, they’re silent fliers, but only on the hunt.
