Breeding
The nest is an untidy bowl-shaped structure made of grasses and leaves. It is located in tall grass or bushes, and the stems overhead are often tied together to make a canopy. Two to five white oval eggs measuring 38 by 29 mm are laid. The incubation period is 15 days, with young remaining in the nest for another 13 days. The male Pheasant Coucal does most of the incubating of eggs and feeding of young, as well as building the nest.
