Prey fed to the juveniles consisted of birds, chameleons, a toad and a Bush Squirrel, The nest was vacated in mid-February and the juveniles left the nest area during the latter part of March. Both young fledged successfully. The following year both young from the second nesting were killed before they left the nest.
