Explanation

The Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) found only in Cuba is the smallest bird in the world, weighing less than 2 grams and measuring about 5-6 centimeters in length. Hummingbirds in general are the smallest birds. The name 'hummingbird' comes from the humming sound created by their rapidly beating wings. They are unique in their ability to fly backwards and hover in place. Sparrows, doves, and crows are all significantly larger birds.
