The Bee hummingbird – tiniest among all birds in the world, it is a bit larger than a bee, only 2 to 2.4 inches long. It is the smallest living bird in the world. They are generally found in the dense forest of Cuba. While these birds are known for their small stature, they're fairly easy to spot with their mile-a-minute wings and iridescent feathers.
