You've never seen a popped owls head....I find them all the time :o)
// Owls appear to be able to rotate their head completely around. This total rotation is just an illusion. Often, they sit with their head looking over their shoulder to prevent predators from sneaking up behind them. If they hear a noise which they can't see the source, they will turn their head quickly to the front, then to the other shoulder. This rotation is about 270 degrees of a circle, not 360 degrees. For comparison, a flexible human can turn their head less than 180 degrees.
