It nests in a bare ground scrape and lays typically 5-6 greenish eggs, which are incubated only by the female.

Male and female plumages are similar, but the juvenile is slightly smaller and duller in appearance.

Caucasian snowcock has a desolate whistling song, vaguely like a Eurasian curlew, sooo-looo-leeee.

The calls include loud cackles and bubbled buck-buck-buck-buck-burrrrrr.
