Courtship includes a mutual display of chasing each other with wings spread up and backward, similar to how they act when chasing ground prey. Mating takes place either on the ground or in their large nests high up in Acacia trees. The female lays 2 – 3 oval eggs over a period of 2 – 3 days. The rough textured eggs are incubated by the female for another 45 – 50 days.
