Beautiful Little Bee Hummingbird-The Smallest Bird In The World

Part 2 of 2

When it comes time to make a romantic connection, bee hummingbirds have a rather annoying way of attracting a mate (to the human ear, at least). During breeding season, singing males form a cappella groups hoping to impress the ladies. Their songs may not be that great, consisting mostly of a few warbles or repetitive peeps (the same note over and over again), but the cache of being in a band seems to work for these little guys. Sadly, like so many great acts before them, once they successfully find partners, these musical combos quickly break up. Female bee hummingbirds build nests the size of a quarter and lay one or two pea-sized eggs each year.

Cuba’s decreasing natural vegetation, and growing pasture fields and farmland, pose a serious threat to these tiny birds who call the dense forests and woodlands their home. The bee hummingbird is currently considered “near threatened” on the IUCN Red List.

But just because you can’t see this tiny evolutionary wonder, doesn’t mean it’s not there.
