That is amazing, thanks for the information Ray. I found it so interesting, I went out to find links and then to look at hummingbirds for size comparisons. A hummingbird can weigh between 2 - 20 grams and one article compared that to a penny which weighs 2.5 grams. So one of the pygmy parrots weighs less than five pennies. Can you imagine how tiny they are when they hatch?
