2014 Oct 9th - Q29

In the picture is a 17th century calligraphy work (presently housed in the Pergamom Museum). The bird depicted here is the National Bird of a country whose previous President, replaced this year, was a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Give the arabic name of this bird, as mentioned in the Holy Qura'an.


[Highlight blank after arrow for the answer] 
=> Hudhud - the bird is hoopoe, which is the National Bird of Israel. Cyclone Hudhud is the tropical cyclone, currently striking the subcontinent - it was named so by Oman.
