katana600 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
