I dunno foot. That flower looks bigger than a quarter. Plus I found this on Wikipedia:

The Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) is the smallest bird in the world, weighing 1.8 grams. A more typical hummingbird, such as the Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus), weighs approximately 3 g and has a length of 10-12 cm (3.5-4 inches).

In any case, I still wouldn't stand next to the thing.
