North American bee hummingbird (SciiFii)

The North American bee hummingbird (Mellisuga borealis) is a species of hummingbird, most closely related to the Cuban bee hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae), that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across mainland North America to help boost biodiversity. The North American bee hummingbird, like the Cuban bee hummingbird, is among the world's smallest bird and one of the smallest known dinosaur, with females generally weighing 2.6 grams (0.092 oz) and are 6.1 centimeters (2.4 inches) long, which are slightly larger than males, which have an average weight of 1.95 grams (0.069 oz) and length of 5.5 centimeters (2.2 inches). Like all hummingbirds, it is a swift, strong flier. The male has a black pileum and face, iridescent gorget with elongated lateral plumes, bluish upper parts, and the rest of the underparts mostly greyish white. Female North American bee hummingbirds are bluish green with a pale gray underside. The tips of their tail feathers have white spots. During the mating season, males have a reddish to pink head, chin, and throat. Compared to other small hummingbirds, which often have a slender appearance, the North American bee hummingbird looks rounded and plump. The iridescent colors of the North American bee hummingbird's feathers make the bird seem like a tiny jewel. The iridescence is not always noticeable, but depends on the viewing angle. The bird's slender, pointed bill is adapted for probing deep into flowers. The North American bee hummingbird feeds mainly on nectar, by moving its tongue rapidly in and out of its mouth, although it is known to feed on insects during mid-flight. In the process of feeding, the bird picks up pollen on its bill and head. When it flies from flower to flower, it transfers the pollen. In this way, it plays an important role in plant reproduction. In one day, the North American bee hummingbird may visit 1,500 flowers. It is a diurnal bird that can fly at 40-48 km/h (25-30 mph), and it beats its wings 80-200 times per second, which allows it to remain stationary in the air to feed on flowers. The North American bee hummingbird's breeding season is March–June, with the female laying one or two eggs. Using strands of cobwebs, bark, and lichen, female North American bee hummingbirds build a cup-shaped nest about 2.5 centimeters (0.98 inches) in diameter, lining the nest with soft plant fibers. After completion of the nest, the female lays two or three eggs at a time, each about the size of a coffee bean. The eggs are in fledge by incubation for 21 days by only the female, followed by 2 days of hatching, and 18 days of care by the mother. Over the last 4–5 days of nestling, juvenile North American bee hummingbirds practice their flight capabilities. The nests are used only once, then degrade by rain and other natural factors. The North American bee hummingbird lives up to 7 years in the wild, and 10 years in captivity. The conservation status of the North American bee hummingbird is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the North American bee hummingbird's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
