Don't cut the head off. This bleeds the bird out with the heart pumping until it is dead. It dies fast and being upside down is confused so really doesn't know what's happening. The bird died for your table. You should do the best to make sure it died for a good reason. If you prefer to snap the neck, Youtube it to learn how. The name snapping turtle is derived from their aggressive and fierce nature. Physical Features. When compared to common snappers, alligator snapping turtles are larger and less aggressive. Both the species have some features in common, like the large head, long neck, and the spiky tail. The brain stem sits directly on top of the first cervical vertebrae (C1), and if this area is disrupted (by forcing the neck into too much rotation) you will interfere with the brainstem's ability to do it's autonomic function. This is the ideal situation in a long drop.

As a clinician who specializes in the treatment of spinal disorders, one of the most common questions that my patients ask is whether or not the noises heard with movements of the neck is normal. While there could be many reasons why someone experiences noise in the neck or cervical spine, the three main reasons can be summarized by the tagline of a famous breakfast cereal: Snap, Crackle, and Pop.
Snapping
If you look at a picture of a Cervical Spine, you will see 7 individual vertebrae (designated C1 through C7). Each of these vertebrae contains numerous bony prominences that serve as anchor points for numerous tendons and ligaments. Tendons connect the muscles that move the neck to the bone, while the ligaments connect bone to bone and serve to maintain the neck’s stability.

As the neck moves, the tendons and ligaments may rub over the bony prominences, resulting in a snapping sound. This is a normal process, and should not result in any pain. The snapping noise typically occurs when the head and neck move in one direction. With repetition, the snapping will eventually subside as the tendons and ligaments loosen and settle into their ideal position.
Crackling
Just like our knees, hips, and shoulders, the neck is subjected to the same type of degeneration. As we age, our joints begin to lose the lubrication and cartilage which protects them from wear and tear. In the neck, we have numerous joints between each of the seven cervical vertebrae. The joints are often referred to as “facet joints”.
When we move our head and neck, the facet joints glide and slide over one another. As the lubrication begins to wear away and decrease over time, the surfaces of the facets can rub or grind over each other. The movement often is associated with a crackling or grinding sensation. While the noise or sensation can be unnerving, as long as there is no pain associated with the crackling, then it should be no cause for significant concern.
Popping
We’ve all seen it. We may have even been guilty of it ourselves. I’m talking about the loud popping sound that is produced by pulling or twisting the neck to the side. To some, the pop brings relief. To others, it brings disgust or annoyance. In the grand scheme of things, the popping of a joint is a natural, physiological response.
The prevailing theory as to why the pop happens involves the internal structure and physiology of the joint itself. The facet joints, as described above, are surrounded by a sheath of tissue. Within the sheath is a liquid matrix, called Synovial Fluid. This fluid helps to lubricate the joint to prevent wear and tear of the articular surface. When the joints are stretched to their end range, the theory suggests that a vacuum is created, and some of the fluid rapidly forms into a gas. As the gas expands, it forms a bubble, which pops at a certain point. This pop can be quiet, only heard by the person. On the other hand, it can be rather loud, annoying the person sitting next to you. This whole process is known as “Cavitation”.
Popping that is associated with cavitation is a normal occurrence. I do warn people about forceful thrusting, or the so-called “self manipulators”. Forcefully yanking on the head and neck to cause it to pop can be more harmful than good. By forcing the neck to a point beyond its maximal range can lead to a sprain/strain of the ligaments and tendons. If you are one of those chronic poppers (like myself), make sure that the force is slow and gradual.
Here’s the point…
Noises associated with snapping and crackling in the neck are normal! What I suggest to my patients is to monitor the noises as they happen.
If you’re experiencing neck pain and/or the noises are suddenly and consistently associated with local or referred pain, then you should visit one of our many physical therapists first.

How Does Snapping A Neck Kill You

LONDON — There is nothing kind or gentle about a hanging. It is a process scientifically designed to break the neck and choke a person to death as efficiently as possible.
In the recent Iraqi executions, former president Saddam Hussein and two of his accomplices, his half brother and the former head of Iraq's Revolutionary Court, were hanged from a gallows.
In such judicial hangings, the victims are typically dropped a distance greater than their height through a trapdoor. At this point, the rope becomes rigid, and the force of the noose should break the victim's neck, causing immediate paralysis and unconsciousness.
The procedure causes a classic 'hangman's fracture' — a break between the head and the neck, effectively snapping the upper cervical spine. In most cases, the victim dies of asphyxiation.
Joyce farrell solutions manual. Though nobody really knows how long it takes a person to die from hanging, experts say it is probably anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes.
In judicial hangings, as opposed to suicides, there is significant damage to the spinal cord. If the victims fall more than the prescribed distance, they may even pick up enough speed that the noose itself decapitates them, as happened Monday to the former Iraqi dictator's half brother Barzan Ibrahim. In rare cases, intense fear can cause the victim to die of cardiac arrest.
'Hanging is a very cruel way of killing people,' said Harold Hillman, an expert in executions who teaches at the University of Surrey. 'The fracture obstructs their breathing, and they are left gasping for breath.'
Video: Saddam's co-defendants Even when the neck is broken, Hillman says, there is still blood containing oxygen in the brain. The brain can still function at some level until that oxygen is used up.
In praxes, this means that facial movements can still occur even after the head has been severed from the body.

The head of the Marie Antoinette, the guillotined French queen, famously smiled after being chopped off for precisely this reason, Hillman says. 'Until there is no oxygen left, you can have involuntary movements in the head.'
Criminals have been hanged since the Persian Empire first adopted the practice 2,500 years ago. The last major advance in the technology of hangings was made in the 19th century, when tables were devised to calculate both the length of rope needed to kill, and the distance of the necessary 'drop.'
According to these so-called 'drop tables,' the heavier the prisoner, the shorter the distance needed to produce sufficient force to break his neck.
Still, these drop tables are only a rough guide, cautions Geoffrey Abbott, author of 'Execution: The Guillotine, the Pendulum, the Thousand Cuts, the Spanish Donkey, and 66 Other Ways of Putting Someone to Death.'
'A person could weigh an amount that required a length of 8 feet, but because his neck is particularly scrawny, his head might come off,' Abbott said.

Iraqi officials said that the gallows were built in accordance with international standards, but human rights officials disputed that claim.

'Under no circumstances can an execution be in accordance with human rights standards,' said Param-Preet Singh, counsel for the international justice program at Human Rights Watch.
