The breeding season varies by region, but peaks in April-May and September-October. They lay 2-3 eggs per clutch with about a 28-day incubation shared by both sexes. During breeding the female eats less and is fed by the male; she lays one egg every other day.
During incubation the female does most of the work while the male guards and sometimes helps.
