We only use the Holy Bible for our Scriptures and have not used the Koran. In fact, we do not even use the Apocrypha.

Hoopoes also appear in the Quran in Surah Al-Naml 27:20-22 in the following context “And he [Solomon] sought among the birds and said: How is it that I see not the hoopoe, or is he among the absent? (20) I verily will punish him with hard punishment or I verily will slay him, or he verily shall bring me a plain excuse. (21) But he [the Hoopoe] was not long in coming, and he said: I have found out (a thing) that thou apprehendest not, and I come unto thee from Sheba with sure tidings.”

That verse was from a list of unclean things not to eat. It just is mentioning the bat. The Bible is not calling a bat a bird.
