You’ll have to look closely to spot the smallest living bird on the planet: the bee hummingbird. Found only in the geographic area of Cuba (mainly around forests), the bee hummingbird weighs about 1.6-1.9 grams. This tiny bird can move fast, and usually beats its wings 80 times per second, but can increase these wing beats to 200 times per second during courtship displays. Although the bee hummingbird population is declining due to habitat loss, steps are being taken to protect these tiny little birds.
