Pacific bazas usually nest in forest areas along river or stream runs.  Observations, especially in Australia, suggest that a couple defends a territory all year round. The nest is cup-shaped and is made up of twigs and small twigs and laid out with fresh eucalyptus leaves. The outer diameter of the nest is up to eighteen inches wide and six inches deep, with the interior bowl is four to five inches deep and lined with leaves. In exceptional cases, the nests are also significantly larger, with one well over three by three feet.  Both parents build the nest, which is only used once; these nests are flimsy do not last a year, succumbing to weather after the breeding season<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318883722_The_breeding_cycle_of_a_pair_of_pacific_bazas_aviceda_subcristata_in_South-eastern_Queensland</ref>.

The size of the clutch has not yet been conclusively studied, but it seems that it usually consists of two to three eggs. Both parent birds incubate, with the females spending more time at the nest than males, which lasts 29 to 33 days.  From hatching to fledge is 32 to 35 days, with both parents feeding<ref>http://www.wiresnr.org/Pacificbaza.html</ref>.
