Between February and June each year is the mating season of cypress birds. Males choose to hunt and pinch their prey as an effective way to call a mate.

When they come together, the female will build a nest with branches, bark and roots, lining the inside with moss and leaves. Each litter produces only 5-6 eggs, incubating for about 15-17 days. Young children can only lie in the nest for 16-20 days and then they are "chased" by their parents to be independent.
