The bee hummingbird, also known as the zunzuncito or Helena hummingbird, is a species of bird that is native to Cuba and Isla de la Juventud. This tiny bird has a body length of just 2.4-2.75 inches (6-7 cm), making it the smallest bird in the world! The bee hummingbird gets its name from its size and appearance, which is similar to that of a bee.
When it comes to pronouncing this little bird's name, there are two ways you can say it. The first way is bee hum-ming-bird, with each syllable being evenly stressed. The second way is bee-hummingbird, with the first syllable being stressed more than the others. Both pronunciations are considered correct, so choose whichever one you like better!
