The breeding season for golden bush robins in Pakistan is from May to June. The female birds tend to lay 3 or 4 eggs and their incubation period is 14 or 15 days. [3] The nests consist of compacted moss and grass that is lined with hair, wool, and feathers. [4] The lifespan of a golden bush robin is around 3.8 years. [3]
The white-breasted robin is a cooperative breeder; breeding pairs are often assisted by one or more helper birds that help to raise young.

[10] [11] Only the female is believed to incubate but both sexes take part feeding the young. [8] The cuckoo Cuculus canorus has been recorded in old literature as a brood parasite of the species. [10] These birds arrive in the Himalayan breeding grounds in May and leave in September. Southward migration begins in August.
