Nothing is too small to eat. No matter how small you are (assuming the
atomic scale limits the shrinking), there's always an organism just
large enough to eat you.
Personally, I think that bird got him, just as soon as he got through
with his grandiose speech. In fact, I think that would have made an
equally interesting ending. The hero makes his grandiose speech about
God's love, and then - Bam! - the bird eats him.
And of course, in 1950's physics, once you get to the atomic scale, then
every atom becomes an entire solar system. The process then repeats
itself all over again, thus proving the old proverb - It's turtles all
the way down. :)
