Interesting fact

Here's an interesting fact: the smallest bird in the world is the bee hummingbird, also known as the Helena hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae). This tiny bird, endemic to Cuba, measures only about 5 to 6 centimeters in length, making it smaller than many species of bees. Additionally, the bee hummingbird weighs an average of only 1.6 to 2 grams. Despite its diminutive size, they are known for their incredible flying abilities and impressive speed, flapping their wings at an average rate of 80 beats per second and reaching up to 200 beats per second during fast flight. It's a remarkable example of how nature can create astonishingly small yet amazing creatures.
