    Answer:

The smallest bird in the world is generally agreed to be the male bee hummingbirds (mellisuga helenae), which live in Cuba, weigh 0.056 ounces and are 2.75 inches in length. The bill and tail account for half of this length. Also, the vervain humming bird's nest is no longer than a halved tennis ball. Its egg is also the smallest egg in the world. Shortest wings and body length are not really appropriate measurements because they are disproportionately affected by whether the bird is flightless or not and its beak length respectively.
