"I ask the same question all night long and never get an answer. I can turn my head most of the way round, and I fly without a sound. What am I?"
Answer
An Owl
Explanation
An owl's hoot sounds like the question 'Who?' repeated through the night. Owls can rotate their heads about 270 degrees, and the soft fringed edges of their feathers let them fly in near silence.
