It is found in China. Its natural habitat is temperate forests.
Mating and Breeding
They breed from March to June.[2] They lay clutches of 2-3 white eggs,[2] which they incubate for 13-14 days[2] in nests made of tree bark, withered stems, hair, thin plastic threads, and plastic sheets.[2] Both parents participate in incubation.[2] The hatchlings nest for 12-14 days.[2] Parents take turns taking care of hatchlings.[2]
