Best Answer

Many pet birds, African grays in particular, are thought to use head bobbing as a means of attracting attention, either for play or in the hope of getting treats. Head bobbing is also thought to be a help to larger birds in the wild for visualizing their surroundings and pinpointing the location of food.

Many predatory animals bob their heads to help them compute the distance to something. Moving their eyes relative to the object gives them a second assessment of the distance between them and the object.

Why do owls move their heads?

All owls will tilt their head to hear better.
