No, not all birds can turn their heads all the way around. While some species, like owls, have a remarkable ability to rotate their heads significantly due to unique neck structures, they can only turn their heads about 270 degrees, not a full 360 degrees. Most birds have more limited neck flexibility, allowing for a range of motion that helps them spot predators and prey without needing to turn their entire bodies.

Can penguins turn their heads all around?

No, penguins cannot turn their heads all the way around like some other birds. Their necks are relatively short and rigid, allowing for limited movement. They can swivel their heads to a certain degree, but this range of motion is restricted compared to more agile birds. This adaptation is suited to their swimming and foraging habits.

How do birds see when their eyes are in the side?

Not all birds have their eyes on the side (eg owls, eagles etc) don't. Those birds which hunt for their food have eyes that are front facing to give them stereo (3D) vision. However those birds which are hunted (prey) (eg Ducks, songbirds etc) have eyes on the side of their heads so that they can see all round themselves to spot hunters sneaking up on them. They do this at the expense of stereo vision. The same is true of mammals, hunters have stereo vision and prey (eg horses) have eyes more on the side.

How can a owl turn its head all the way around?

No, they can turn it 270 degrees, which is far, but not all the way. They look like they can turn their heads all the way around, but its just that they have a lot of fur surrounding their neck which makes it look that way.
