White-breasted woodswallows in Fiji nest in trees and on cliffs. Small sexually-mixed groups select the site, build a series of preliminary nests and the nest proper, copulate indiscriminately, and cooperate in incubation and raising the young. Detailed descriptions are given of observations of behaviour (including preening, scratching, hunting for food, song, roosting and defence) and of nesting (including site selection and building, copulation, incubation and care of young).
