Hummingbirds are very small birds. The bee hummingbird is the smallest among them. As their name suggests, they are almost the size of a bee. The male may weigh about 1.95 grams! Now, compare the bee hummingbird with an ostrich that weighs about 145 kg.
Hummingbirds are swift, flitting through the air like a flash. They are generally found in Cuba and the Isle of Pines. The nectar form flower is their main food. However, they also prey on insects occasionally. The colouration of the bird is so brilliant that its iridescence makes it look like a tiny jewel. A lot of research is being done in determining the movement of the bird; for now, we do not know much about it. Ornithologists consider the birds sedentary, as they seem to spend a long time in one place.
