an ounce
I would say centimeters or inches. Edit:
That's fine unless you wanted to measure its mass in which case the suggested units would be useless! Then you are more likely to want to use grams.
Edit: Also, inches is NOT metric.
most species of hummingbird
measure in the range of 7.5 - 13 cm or 3 - 5 inches
with a mass weight of 3 - 4 g (for comparison a nickel weighs about 5 g)
It depends on what you want to measure: length, mass, conductivity, elasticity, tensile strength etc.
If you want its mass, use grams. If you want its length, use centimetres.
It would depend which property of the bird you wished to measure.
The answer depends on what characteristic you wish to measure: the mass, weight, length, age, etc.
Metric Units
grams
Liters or grams
the metric system
cm³ (cm cubed)

Probably the best metric unit of measure to use would be the Centimeter (cm) ...There are 2.54 cm per inch.
No, a foot is not a metric measurement. Metric measurements of length would include millimeter, centimeter, meter, and kilometer.
kilometre
meeters?
