Which bird is the smallest in the world and can be found in Cuba?

Bee Hummingbird

Goldcrest Pygmy

Owl

The correct answer is Bee Hummingbird.

Some additional details:

• Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is the smallest species of bird in the world.
• It is found solely on the island of Cuba.
• Bee Hummingbirds have an average length of 5 centimeters (2 inches) and weigh approximately 1.8 grams (0.06 ounces), making them diminutive even compared to other hummingbirds.
• The Goldcrest is small for a songbird but is still larger than the Bee Hummingbird at about 8-9cm long. It is found throughout Eurasia rather than Cuba specifically.
• While some owl species are small, owls in general tend to be larger than hummingbirds. They also differ in that they are not found restricted to Cuba.

So in summary, the Bee Hummingbird, endemic to Cuba and measuring only 2 inches long on average, definitively holds the title of world’s smallest bird species amongst the options provided. Its size is remarkably petite, even when compared to other hummingbirds.
