c)The black hummingbird
d)The red hummingbird

Answer 1

Hint:
This bird is also known as Helena hummingbird.

Complete step by step answer:
The smallest bird in the world is the bee hummingbird. Hence, option b is the correct option. It is found mainly across the mainland of Cuba, mostly in Zapata Swamp. It is now an endemic bird. It has a bright colour and feeds mainly on nectar and small insects.

The blue hummingbird, also known as the blue microphones hummingbird, is the largest of all the species of hummingbirds. It is mainly in southern states of the United States and Mexico. Therefore, option a is incorrect. The black humming bird or the black chinned hummingbird, is also a very small bird but not the smallest. It is a migratory bird and mostly found in Mexico. Therefore, option c is an incorrect option. The red hummingbird is also known as rufous hummingbird. It is hardly 8 cm long but bigger than the bee hummingbird. It is named after the red colour of its throat. It is one of the seven species of the Selasphorus genus.


Note: Do not confuse between all the names as they are identical to each other.
