What is world’s smallest bird?

The world’s smallest bird is the bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae), which is native to Cuba and the Isla de la Juventud in the West Indies. This tiny bird measures just 6.1-6.7 cm (2.4-2.6 inches) in length and weighs only 1.95-2.6 grams (0.069-0.092 ounces), making it the smallest bird in the world by both length and weight. Despite its small size, the bee hummingbird is a powerful flyer and can hover in midair, allowing it to feed on nectar from flowers and other small insects. The male bee hummingbird is known for its brightly colored, iridescent plumage, which can range from shades of green and blue to red and purple.
