The specimens of six carcasses were carried out to department of anatomy, Faculty of veterinary medicine, Cairo University. Four heads were dissected for morphological study and X-ray, other two specimens accommodated to CT. The skull of owl constructed mainly from the neurocranium, viscerocranium and the mandible.
