In order to provide you with more information we found this article.  We hope you enjoy learning about the Bee Hummingbird!  

From the article: DID YOU KNOW.... that Cuba is home the the smallest bird in the world? Measuring 5 cm long and 2 gm in weight, the Bee Hummingbird or elZunzuncito, holds the record for the smallest bird and also the smallest egg in the world.

Bee hummingbirds are the smallest known living birds in the world - being comparable in size to bumble bees and are lighter than a Canadian or U.S. penny.

Females are slightly larger than males. 

Like all hummingbirds they can fly not only forwards but also backwards, up, down, and even just hover. They have the ability to beat their wings at up to 80 times per second, so fast that humans can only see the wings moving as a faint blur.

Their tiny size and amazing flying skills allow them to move from flower to another collecting nectar and hunt even small insects.

In fact, they are so good at flying (some as many as 1,500 flowers a day) that they do not even walk anymore and only use their feet for perching.
