The smallest bird eggs in the world are laid by a bird called the bee hummingbird. The tree hummingbird is a small bird that only lives in Cuba. They are usually only about 5 centimeters in length and weigh less than 2 grams. They are one of the smallest birds in the world.


The eggs laid by this bird are also extremely small, only about 0.5 centimeters in size, which is equivalent to the size of mung beans or raisins. Although tree hummingbird eggs are very small, their incubation time is the same as that of other larger bird eggs, taking 15 to 18 days to hatch into chicks.


It should be noted that the tree hummingbird is a rare species with a very limited population, and its habitat is also threatened by human activities. Therefore, we should protect this little life and allow them to live freely in the natural environment.
