You are wrong but recent research indicates that I may in fact also be wrong 😭😭

Owls may actually be able to turn their heads a full 360 degrees | New Scientist - https://www.newscientist.com/article/2413893-owls-may-actually-be-able-to-turn-their-heads-a-full-360-degrees/

That’s still not 270 in either direction, that would be a total of 540!! That’s seriously exorcist shit

I know it’s not a scientific paper or anything, but a quick search led me to Smithsonian Magazine’s article:

“Owls, on the other hand, can rotate their necks up to 270 degrees in either direction without damaging the vessels running below their heads…”
