Zoologist conducted many experiments and were surprised when they found out that birds lie just like humans for birds lie in order to secure their food and might also lie to deceive female birds thus attract them.  Miraculously, the holy Qur’an talks about this scientific fact in the story of Prophet Solomon, PBUH, with Balkis, the queen of Sheba. Allah, the almighty granted Prophet Solomon, PBUH, the ability to understand the language of birds and talk to them, and so when the hoopoe was late, according to the story in the holy Qur’an, and then came and told Prophet Solomon, PBUH, that he found some people worshiping the sun instead of worshiping Allah, the exalted, Prophet Solomon, PBUH, replied:

 “(Solomon) said: “Soon shall we see whether thou hast told the truth or lied!” Naml or Ants: 27:27

This verse proves that birds could either tell the truth or lie, a fact that has been revealed only recently!!!
