During the breeding season, from April through to June, a cup-shaped nest is built by both sexes made from grasses and bamboo leaves. Built about one meter above the ground, 2-3 eggs are laid within and incubated for 17-18 days. Once the chicks have hatched they are fed by both parents and become fledged in 14-16 days.
