My baby finches are between 2 - 3 weeks old. The mom and dad are constantly sitting on them and I'm afraid they are smothering them or stiffling their growth. Is this normal? It is a small enclosed nest.

The babies don't smother. The parents are supposed to do this. As soon as one hops off another hops on.
My mom raised Zebra finches when I was a kid and it sounds like yours are being good parents.
