Yellowhammer pairs share parenting duties. Females will build a nest and brood the eggs, while the males brings her food. The nest, built low down in dense vegetation, is cup-shaped and will contain 3-5 pale eggs with dark scribbling and spots. Yellowhammer eggs are camouflaged to blend in with the surroundings. Eggs will be incubated for around 2 weeks and once hatched have a fledging period of up to 16 days. Parents can raise up to 3 broods a year.
