Default Learn from a master.

I've seen crows and ravens perform aileron rolls and snap rolls (three in a
row, once!). I never thought to watch their heads during the maneuvers.

All the bird pictures I have seen have the birds keeping their heads level
in steep turns. But few if any do rolls past vertical, AFAIK.

In the UK, I was taught to keep head in line with spine. AFAIK, it is
universal here.

It is interesting to watch the techniques of these aerobatic pilots:
