Behaviour and Ecology
The breeding season is mainly between January to May. The build their nest over a period of a week. The nests are made with vines and grasses or leaves. Many nests in a study in the Silent Valley National park were found to be made on saplings of Syzygium species or in reeds of Ochlandra travancorica. The typical clutch was two eggs which were incubated for about 14 days. The young fledge after about 12 days. Eggs are sometimes destroyed and eaten by the palm squirrels (Funambulus tristriatus).
