Just like very little is known about this owl’s diet, almost nothing is known about their nesting habits. It is likely that its breeding biology is similar to that of the Ferruginous Pygmy-owl. If that’s the case, it most likely nests tree cavities or perhaps in old nests built by other bird species. We still don’t know how many eggs they lay, if both adults incubate the eggs, how old the owlets are when they leave the nest, or anything else about this species’ nests, eggs, or young.
