Best Answer

Smallest:

The Bee Hummingbird, Zunzuncito Mellisuga helenae,is a species of hummingbird that is native to Cuba and Isla de la juventud. This bird has a mass of ~1.8 grams (~0.063 oz) and a length of ~5.0 centimetres (~2.0 in). It has been classified as "near threatened," and some believe that it is endemic, only to Cuba.

This is not only the smallest hummingbird, it is the smallest of all the birds.

Largest:

The Giant Hummingbird, Patagona gigas, is the largest member of the hummingbird family. It typically weighs ~18-20 g (~0.735 - 0.705 oz), and measures ~21.5 cm in length (~8.5 in). This is about the length of a European Starling, or a Gray Catbird. It is the only member of its genus.

Its habitat is the high Andes mountains: from 2,000 - 3,800 meters (6,500-11,000 ft), in northern Ecuador to central Chile and Argentina.

In Bolivia, this hummingbird is known, in the Quechua language, as "burro q'ent".
