The nesting methods and behaviors of white collar jade are very similar to those of ordinary kingfishers, nesting in tree holes or earth caves. Male and female birds take turns digging tunnel-type burrows with their mouths for nests, 6-7 cm high and 60-90 cm long in diameter. Straight and slightly inclined. These caves are generally bare of bedding. The eggs are laid directly on the nest ground. Spawning periods vary from region to region: from January to May and October in Tanzania, from July to March and September to October in Zimbabwe, from February to March in Zambia, and from June and August to October in South Africa. Three to five eggs are laid in each clutch, and the size of the eggs is 28-32 mm x 23-26 mm. The male and female incubate the eggs in turn. Young birds are late sex.
