The crested wood partridge can live in groups of up to 15 individuals. Breeding pairs dig tunnel like nests beneath the litter of the forest floor. Offspring can number from four to eight chicks, which are cared for cooperatively by each parent. Larger broods may be divided, with each parent caring exclusively for half. Parents feed chicks for the first week, after which chicks forage for their own food.
