Usually only breed, incubate and hatch once a year. However they can breed twice in one year for a number of reasons.

Plenty of food will be one reason they nest twice in the one year.

If their nest is destroyed or babies are killed - this may cause the birds to nest again.

My mother magpie who is four years old (I've had her since she was eight weeks old) nested for the first time last year. She had two girls and a boy. All successfully raised and evicted (sadly!)

This year she has had two babies and handed them over to daddy magpie. She then nested again and is currently feeding her new young. She has nothing to do with the first two babies, they are daddy magpies responsibility!

Last year I co raised her young with the mummy magpie (daddy was in the background). So this year he has two babies, mummy yet to bring her new babies to me, who are only approx 14 days old so a couple of weeks we will see what unfolds!

Birds have phases in life, depending on the type bird. Sparrows, after hatching, should stay in the nest for maybe two weeks before branching, or venturing out of the nest. Branching is when birds test their ability of flight by jumping from branch to branch on a tree, gliding momentarily, and other whatnot.
