The breeding season for this species varies in the southern part of the range, the breeding season is usually from February or March to early to mid-September, although some second and third broods finish in October. In the northern part of the range, it usually begins late May to early June and ends at the same time as the mating season for the southernmost birds. The female lays four or five eggs, the eggs are reddish white in color. Eggs measure 20 mm × 14 mm (0.79 inches × 0.55 inches), and weigh 1.9 g (0.067 oz), of which 5% is shell. In Europe, females perform almost all of the incubation process, but in North America males can incubate up to 25% of the time of incubation. The incubation period is usually 14-19 days and the chicks mature 18-23 days after hatching. Mature young live together, and are fed by the mother for about a week after leaving the nest.
