Weighing less than a dime with a heart beating 1,200 times per minute, the Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) of Cuba is the smallest living bird on Earth! Measuring just 5 centimeters long, breeding males flaunt a fiery ruby-pink helmet of iridescent feathers, beat their wings 80 times per second in a figure-eight pattern, visit 1,500 flowers daily, and weave walnut-sized nests of spider silk to cradle pea-sized eggs.
