Southern screamers breed during the rainy season when their wetland habitat is flooded. They construct large nests made from plant materials, typically located near the water's edge or on floating vegetation. Both parents share the responsibility of incubating the eggs and caring for the offspring. Clutch sizes range from 2 to 5 eggs, with an incubation period of approximately 45 days. The chicks are precocial and are able to walk and swim shortly after hatching. | Southern screamers breed during the rainy season when their wetland habitat is flooded.
