Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae)
The Bee Hummingbird, also known as the Helena Hummingbird or Zunzuncito, is the world's smallest bird. It is also classed as the world's smallest dinosaur, as no smaller bird or non-avian dinosaur has ever been found as a fossil. They will typically consume up to half their body weight in food a day.
