The smallest bird is the bee hummingbird which is 2.5 inches long ( 6.2 cm) weighing only 0.06 oz (1.6 g). Hummingbirds lay the smallest birds' eggs. They always lay 2 at a time, each the size of a person's small fingernail.

The smallest wild bird is the bee hummingbird. the smallest caged bird is wither the zebra or society finch. They are pretty close to the same size.

In the wild, the Hummingbird is the smallest. In Parrots, the Parrotlet is the smallest. In non-parrots...(in captivity) I'm not really sure. I'd imagine probably the Zebra Finch, I think?

The smallest bird is the BEE HUMMINGBIRD, (Mellisuga helenae), size - 2.5 inches, 1.6 g weight. It' is as small as a bee actually.

It would have to be between the zebra finch or a humming bird!

Hi, I think Zebra finches are smaller than hummingbirds, at least the finches I raised were smaller than all the hummingbirds that come to my feeders.
