Nesting :
Banded Ground-Cuckoo birds build their nests entirely out of leaves, about 5 meters off the ground on understory trees, and lay a single nestling. That single egg they lay is more of a rounded shape, rather than an oval shape like any other fundamental bird egg, and goes from being a white cream color to an egg with a variety of brown spots during their incubation proceed
