The tiny Bee Hummingbird found on Cuba and the Isle of Pines is so small that it is often mistaken for an insect. Its body is only 1.25 cm (1/2 inch) long, with the rest of its 6 cm (2 1/2-inch) total length being made up of bill and tail. Adults reach weights of only 2 to 2.5 grams.

The Bee Hummingbird! The Bee Humming bird has also the smallest number of feathers, which is about 1,000 feathers (in other bird species, there are up to 25,000). During the courtship displays, the male can flap his wings up to 200 times per second!
