Black-and-Red Broadbill ( Breeding )

The nest is built on the roots that extend under the pond, and the parents take turns feeding the two chicks.

 

Nests are built by both sexes, usually taking around 11 days to build, but sometimes taking up to 49 days. In some cases, 1–2 assistants also help construct the nest.

 

The black-and-red broadbill lays eggs in clutches of 2–3.

Eggs are laid at intervals of 24 hours, and both sexes incubate the eggs.

 

Incubation takes 21 days, after which altricial young hatch. The young are cared for by both parents for around 17 days.
