Hummingbirds are growing

The nest is probably starting to get a little close with two growing hummingbirds packed into it. The mother bird has started to feed the babies even when we are at the far edge of the patio, something she wouldn't do when they were smaller. She comes and feeds the birds and they eat and then do some stretching and flap their little wings. One of the babies is definitely larger than the other.
An interesting phenomenon is the spattering of droppings under the nest. We've seen the little specks come flying out of the nest.
