How do they reproduce?
The Amazonian royal flycatcher life cycle like any bird completes in four cycles. The breeding of these birds takes place in moist forest habitats around water. During the breeding courtship, the Amazonian royal flycatcher male displays his rarely seen colored crest. Females build the nest that hangs from vines and branches above ground or water, out of the predators' reach. This hanging Amazonian royal flycatcher nest is around 78.7 in (2 m) long. Females lay up to two eggs. Females incubate their eggs for 60% of the day. Males rarely incubate the eggs. However, males defend their territory. The female bird also feeds and cares for her royal flycatcher chicks. Once the young ones are big enough to fly they jump out of their nest and learn to fly. Also, these birds do not fly further south from their mating areas.
