Hummingbird: the smallest bird in the world

Ostrich is the largest bird in the world, so what is the smallest bird in the world?

The smallest bird in the world is a hummingbird. There are no hummingbirds in China. Hummingbirds mainly live in Cuba and other places in Latin America. So can you imagine how small the smallest bird in the world is?

The whole body length of a hummingbird is less than 5 cm, and its long mouth and tail account for 4 cm, that is to say, the hummingbird's body is only about 1 cm, and the weight of an adult hummingbird is only about 2 grams, which is about the size of a small bee.

Because the wings of this bird vibrate very fast, it will make a "buzzing" sound when flying, which is similar to the sound of bees, so people named it "Hummingbird".

In fact, hummingbirds are a big family, with about 320 species.

Among them, the hummingbird (hummingbird) from Cuba is the largest of the races. The male bird weighs about 1.8g and is 5cm long. The female is a little older. Hummingbird's feathers are very beautiful, reflecting rainbow-like luster, and enjoying them from different angles in the sun has different effects. However, hummingbirds are more famous for their unique flying ability.

Although this bird is small in size, it does not fly slowly, with a top speed of 50 kilometers per hour and a height of four or five kilometers.
