One nest box has fledged 4 healthy Gouldians over 10 days. There are still others in the same nest that haven't fledged yet.
Is this unusual?

In the meantime the same parents are sitting on new eggs in a nearby nest box.

Some just need a bit more time, I've had black rumped double bars fledge a week between each other

The more babies the wider the gap between hatching = the wider the gap between fledging.
