Breeding
Introduction
Tye and Tye (1990) describe a nest from 3700 in Colombia, encountered in late November:
"The nest had been built at the end of a slender branch, hanging down from a rock overhang. It was situated c. 2 m above a mountain stream and was protected from approach by the overhang on one side and the stream and a bog on the other. The overhang may also have protected the nest at least partly from rain.
The nest was a cup, constructed from creamy-coloured plant down on a base of moss and sticks. The rim of the cup was doughtnut-shaped and had an external diameter of c. 10 cm. The internal depth was c. 5 cm." The contents of the nest were not determined, but as an adult sat on the nest for long periods, the probably contained eggs.
