Breeding
Introduction
Ground-cuckoos are non brood-parasitic species.
The breeding behavior and phenology of Scaled Ground-Cuckoo is virtually unknown. No data on nest type or placement, clutch size, egg appearance, incubation and nestlings periods, and other aspects of breeding behavior. Nest presumably is similar to that of related species, such as the large bulky cup placed in an understory tree of Banded Ground-Cuckoo (Neomorphus radiolosus).
Data on the breeding phenology of Scaled Ground-Cuckoo also is very limited, apart from an observation of two individuals in juvenile plumage observed in March and May (Willis 1982).
