Owls have fourteen vertebrae bones in their necks which is twice as many as humans. This gives their neck greater flexibility so they can turn it around to 270 degrees. They have to do this because, unlike us, they cannot move their eyeballs at all in any direction.
Owls can't really turn their head all the way around. They can turn their head 270 degrees (3 quarters).

What animal can turn their head around like an owl?
The animal that can turn its head around similarly to an owl is the certain species of parrot, particularly the Kakapo. While not able to rotate their heads as extensively as owls, some parrots can turn their heads significantly due to their flexible necks. Additionally, some reptiles, like certain snakes, can also exhibit impressive head-turning abilities, though not in the same manner as owls. Owls are unique in their ability to rotate their heads up to 270 degrees due to their specialized neck vertebrae.
