There are over 300 species of hummingbirds, and they range from the smallest of all birds (as little as 1.6 grams, less than the weight of a U.S. dime) to the size of many Songbirds (20+ grams, about 7/10 of an ounce).

Why are hummingbirds so small?

Hummingbirds have evolved to be small in order to efficiently navigate through narrow spaces and access nectar from flowers. Their small size also allows them to rapidly beat their wings at high frequencies, enabling them to hover and maneuver quickly. Additionally, being small helps hummingbirds conserve energy as they have high metabolic rates and need to feed frequently.
