Bee Hummingbird

The Bee Hummingbird is famous for being the smallest bird in the world.  Males on average weigh only .07 ounces and are about 2 inches long.  Females are a little larger and do not have the beautiful red markings that the male does.

    I love the energy and movement in your hummingbirds. The juicy colors are a delicious bonus.
    Cheers!
