IT would appear that the nest, which is placed in 

 trees, and is only a layer of a few sticks, is put 

 together in a single day, and that the young are 

 hatched in sixteen days; both male and female assisting 

 in making the nest, the former bringing the materials, 

 and the latter arranging them, and also in the work 

 of incubation. 



The egg, for only one is laid, is pure white.
