all of them, actually...really good question, I learned something tonight!
"It is said that owls can rotate their heads 180 degrees to examine objects, but that is misleading. All birds can actually turn their heads 360 degrees (actually the head and neck...nearly all birds sleep with their heads on their backs between their wings, beak tucked under the wing for warmth). Some birds can even turn their heads 180 degrees beyond the 360. Remember, that is 180 degrees plus 45 degrees or more in each direction from facing front. We humans can only turn our heads 180 degrees total, 90 degrees in each direction....
from this website....

They can all turn thier heads 180 degrees (or slightly more)in both directions which does equal 360 degree field of vision. Birds cant move thier eyes to look around so they have to move thier head, but they cannot rotate thier head completely around... it just doesnt work that way... it can only turn 180 degrees right and 180 degrees left. So... all birds have 360 degree field of vision, but no bird can turn its head 360 degrees continuously in one direction... like on the Exorcist..LOL

No animal with a vertebrae can turn its head 360 degrees. Owls can only go 180 degrees in either direction.
