Photo of the Day – The minute Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is not only spectacularly pretty, but also insanely small! In fact, it is the smallest bird in the world.

I need to pick a demon to name him after. The demon previously known as namine, because he super looked like a girl when I got him lol. God he’s colored up so nice.
