Rare Mali Fowl nest deep in the bush near Robinvale. The eggs are laid in the centre and the parents visit the nest every day to adjust the covering of leaves and soil to maintain an even temperature for hatching. They do not sit on the eggs and never see the chicks once hatched. The chicks hatch and immediately disperse in the bush.
