Bee hummingbird

• Zunzuncito or Helena hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae)

The bee hummingbird is a species of hummingbird, as well as the smallest bird in the world. This species of hummingbird can be found in Cuba. In general, females are slightly larger than males.

The female bee hummingbird lays only two eggs at a time, each about the size of a coffee bean or rice.

Due to their bright and iridescent colors, these little birds look like tiny jewels. Their diet consists mainly of nectar, yet they play a major role in plant reproduction, as in one day, they can visit about 2000 flowers.
