A cute little bird called Bee Hummingbird

Do you guys know anything about Bee Hummingbird? or even see about this animal? I bet not all of you know about it. So that's why I want to introduced and make you remember that this animal is exist even you never see it before. But first, let's see the apperance of Bee Hummingbird
So after you see the picture, I know what comes to your mind........You must be think 'Oh my god that bird is so small  and look so cute!!' That's correct guys the weight of this bird is around 1.6–2 g and a length of 5–6 cm so yeahh it's actually the smallest living bird. This bird is endemic to the entire Cuban archipelago, including the main island of Cuba and the Isle of Youth in the West Indies. Oh ya I forget about the classification of it. I think it's kind of importent  because it can be useful when you're in biology class hehe. Who knows right?

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves
Order: Apodiformes
Family: Trochilidae
Genus: Mellisuga
Species: M. helenae

    Do you know which one is a female and which one is a male? The female is on the left and male is on the right. How could I know?It's quite easy if you know the difference appearance between male and female bee hummingbird. For male hummingbirds, they have bright feathers to attract females and deter males by expressing their dominanc. A patch of brightly-colored feathers on the necks of males is known as a groget. A groget's color range includes red, purple, orange, blue and pink.  As for the females, the feathers are often brown or dull green.

You know guys when I knew about this I thought like even animals have their own way to attract or to find  their partner, so it's not just human who can do it but also another living being. So if we want to get a partner or you can say girlfriend/boyfriend, you have to think how to make he/she like you or feel safe around you. Okey enough that's out of the topic hehe sorry guys, so just let's back to the topic.

As for the size, female hummingbirds are typically larger than males. Why? because females lay eggs and their bodies need to be able to support this process, from laying on top of the eggs to keem them warm.

  This are eggs of Bee Hummingbirds and I know it looks so small. Guysss do you think of what I think? Why it just 2 eggs and no more? The answer is because the female lays only two eggs at a time and the breeding season is from March–June. Like any other mom, the females will protect their eggs by chase aways males that come too close to their nest.
If you can see the wings while this bird fly, I'll give you one million really. Why I said that? it's because you can't see it, that's proved in that picture It flaps really fast around 90 times per second and also the heartbeat is 1,260 times. Wow it beat really fast, I wonder what if it happen to human hehe.

Okey guys, I thinks that's all I know about Bee Hummingbird. The reason I choose this kind of animal is because it's looks cute and unic and not many of you know about it, so I just want all of you recognize this cute little bird. Thank you for reading it...... see you next time byeee!!!
