Do other birds (siblings, other relatives, etc.) help raise baby birds?

The other birds are likely last years offspring or otherwise related. Usually only the mated pair will egg sit and feed the babies but I have not marked any to keep accurate track of what really could be happening. I have had chickens try to steal a chick that was not hers, so I can imagine other birds helping family..
