Like many territorial birds, the males will fiercely attack their own reflection when seen in mirrors or windows. The nest is built by both sexes and consists of a cup made of a wide range of materials, both natural and artificial, which is lined with hair, rootlets, wool and feathers. The nest is situated in a recess within a steep bank, tree, or bush, or in a man-made location such as a hole in a wall, a pot plant, or a bridge.
Territorial birds, particularly males, will fiercely attack their own reflections when seen in mirrors or windows. Both sexes work together to build the nest, using materials such as hair, rootlets, wool, and feathers to create a cup-shaped structure that is lined with these items. The nest is typically placed in a hidden location like a recess on a steep bank, tree, or bush, or within an artificial setting like a wall hole, pot plant, or bridge.
