Nest is a small domed-shaped structure, with an entranco on the side, hooded over with a 
small verandah, and usually a small narrow tail hangs from the bottom of the nest. 
Constructed of small strips of soft bark and bound together with cobwebs. Measure¬ 
ment of nest overall (without tail) nearly five inches, the tail sometimes being nearly 
as long as the nest. The structure is generally placed in a small tree or bush, and 
suspended from the end of a thin twig. 
Eggs. Two to three eggs form the clutch. A pair taken near Cardwell, at the northern end of 
Hinchinbrook Island, North Queensland, on the 15th of October, 1908, is of a very pale 
pinkish-white ground-colour, rather well spotted and speckled (particularly at the larger end) 
with pale to dark reddish-brown. Oval in shape, rather pointed at the smaller end; 
surface of shell fine and smooth and slightly glossy. The pair measures (a) 17 by 12 mm. 
(b) 17 by 12 mm.
