About 178.5 degrees of hind-sight.. Bald Eagles can rotate their heads about 200 degrees, owls can go 270 degrees! A useful ability when you are looking for lunch. Photo taken Jan.

Birds can turn their necks as they have a lot of neck bones. All mammals, including Giraffes and mice, have 7 neck bones.
