Lol...

When they have gone from the nest, please take a close up pic. of the nest so that we can see its structure in detail ..

I will.

My neighbor wants the nest; however, I need to read if the hummingbird will come back to the same nest next year, first.

Seems a pity to remove it ...
would any other type of bird use it ?
or is the shape too unique ?

I just read hummingbirds don't use the same nest twice. According to the article they tend to nest close by the same nest, though.

Here's the article:
