The bird with no head

As I walked along the waterfront yesterday, I spotted a strange sight: a bird without a head.

I came closer, and saw that it was a shag. It seemed to be have been taking a nap, but as I approached it moved, 
and opened its eyes,
taking a look at me to see if I posed a threat.
And then, deciding I didn't, tucked its head down again,
turned to one side, 
and went back to sleep.
I wonder if I could learn to do that.
