Breeding can occur any time of year, but the breeding season usually extends from March to September, with a peak number of nests in June. The nesting cycle averages 41 days from first egg to fledging.
Females often renest after nest failure and sometimes after successfully rearing a brood.
Population wide breeding effort is greatly decreased in years of drought. Chicks are cared for up to 3 months after fledging, usually by a male. The 2x3x5 camera was placed approximately 12 from the nest cup. The nest was visited approximately once every 3 days for regular nest-checks and to change the videotape. Sampling Method Videos were watched on a black and white monitor using a multi-speed video player.
