The two hummingbird barely fit into the nest now. They're almost ready to leave the nest, as their long beaks are developing. Photo taken Mar. 19, 2013.

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:

It would be nice if you could leave the nest in place ..
