Nathan,
They are supposed to be big. It is a good sign that the parents are feeding them well.

If they are less then a couple of weeks old, yep sounds about right. The parents are feeding them is the main thing. I would be worrying if the crops were always empty when checked.

I agree with the rest I would be more worried if they weren't full. Sounds like you might have a good mum and dad there.
