Does the bird lie like a human, based on the Almighty's saying: "He said, 'We will see whether you have told the truth or whether you are among the liars'"?

The discourse of Sulaiman and his statement: "We shall see whether you are truthful or whether you are among the liars" indicates that the hoopoe could be truthful or untruthful. His statement: "or whether you are among the liars" is more emphatic than "or did you lie," and it refers to those who are characterized by lying. In this, there is guidance towards contemplation and the search for facts, and not accepting news blindly.
