Breeding

Very little information. None of the original series of specimens, collected in June and October, had enlarged gonads (Graves 1980). The only known nest, however, was found in August; this nest was a mossy cup, ca 4 cm deep and ca 5 cm across, with pale lichens, and possibly held together with spider webs (Collar et al. 1992). The nest was sited ca 2 m above the ground "in a small rock-ledge cavity sheltered from the prevailing" (Collar et al. 1992). A female was on the nest, but the contents were not examined. Presumably the clutch is two, and only the female incubates the eggs and provisions the nestlings.
