~~It's also noteworthy that there's situations where a persom could easily see and owl do a full 360 (and more) if the owl has it's head turned one way and then turns it the other.~~

~~270 in each direction for a total of 540 and all that.~~

Edit: I just double checked, and it's 270 degrees total, not each direction.

I feel lied to.
