The Bird and the Cyclone

What a contradiction! The similarities they have are: 1. Name, 2. Eye. Cyclone has an eye, so do birds and the name is Hudhud.

Hudhud the cyclone appalled as well as perplexed everyone with havoc and its name. Why Hudhud? Is it the hood of the snake or a gaberdine? Sounded eerie. I searched the net. To my surprise I found that it is a harmless, tiny bird. Named by Oman, the cyclone was no way near the birdie, which is also the national bird of Israel. I also learnt that the cyclones are already named and the Asian countries take turn to name the successive cyclones in this region.
