This may be the best Shampoo commercial I have ever seen.

Using Strix Shampoo and Conditioner every day leaves your hair feeling light as a feather!

This reminds me that owls can turn their heads to freaky angles because that head looks turned way around that my neck hurts just from looking.

But the shot is great though. Just that phwoosh of warer.

You are classier than I am. This just reminded me of Flashdance.

Hey that image is totally classy.

They've got twice the neck vertebrae than we do, and they're a bit coiled like a spring. The blood vessels and airways are also similarly coiled inside so they don't suffocate themselves contorting like this. Those would have been some interesting generations to observe while that was evolving! 😆

Haha. Just imagining the prehistoric owls twisting their neck going "Okay. Okay. Nope, too far. There goes my neck."

And that one smug owl who of course got the biggest twist angle giving the smug owl look.

I imagined them looking around too fast and blacking out and falling out the tree in a cartoonish manner. Somewhat like so:

Yes, you get the comedic potential. Man it works Jane been hilarious.

I kept thinking it had to be fake until I went to the photographer's own feed and found the other pic of it sitting in the rain in the same tree. I was really wowed by it.
