hummingbird is the tiniest bird in the world. It is 5.5cm long and its weight is around 1.6-1.8g (hardly bigger than a bee, thus the name Bee hummingbird). They lays the smallest eggs, their eggs are even smaller than seeds.
They build their nests with lichen and cobwebs where they hatch their eggs. Bee hummingbirds are native to Cuba and are seldom spotted on any other close by islands. These magnificent tiny wonders among birds are listed as endangered because of habitat loss since forests are rehabilitated to farmland. The Bee hummingbird species requires efforts for their conservation to recover their population.
