The eggs are white to light aqua, with variable shades of brown blotching, and are approximately 0.7 by 0.9В inches. Both adults feed the young although only the female incubates and broods. The nests are mainly made of roots, leaves, ferns, and stems, and incubation lasts between 12 and 15 days and the nestling period averaged 12.4 days. The nest is built by the female alone while the male stands guard. It the male is unsuccessful, the female will threaten the male, gesturing with the mouth open. It is followed by a rising and falling flight pattern by both sexes. During courtship, males pursue the female, alight above the female, give a shrill call, and then flick and fan out their tail feathers. In South Asia, they breed from January to September but mainly in April to June laying a clutch of four or five eggs in a nest placed in the hollow of tree. They feed on insects in the wild but in captivity feed on boiled and dried legumes with egg yolk and raw meat. This recording was made in 1889 from a captive individual using an Edison wax cylinder by Ludwig Koch in Germany. One of the first recordings of a bird song that was ever made was of this species. They also make a 'Tck' call in alarm or when foraging.

It is loud and clear, with a variety of phrases, and often mimics other birds. The voice of this species is rich and melodious which made them popular as cage birds in South Asia with the tradition continuing in parts of Southeast Asia. The territories include a male and female during the breeding season with the males defending the territory averaging 0.09 ha in size, but each sex may have different territories when they are not breeding.

The white-rumped shama is shy and somewhat crepuscular but very territorial. Juveniles have a more grayish or brownish coloration, similar to that of the females, with a blotchy or spotted chest. Both sexes have a black bill and pink feet. Females are more grayish-brown, and are typically shorter than males. Males are glossy black with a chestnut belly and white feathers on the rump and outer tail. They typically weigh between 1 and 1.2 ounces and are around 9 to 11В inches in length. The last two are sometimes regarded as a separate species, the White-crowned Shama ( C. Race mirabilis from the Sunda Strait, melanurus from northwestern Sumatra, opisthopelus, javanus, omissus, ochroptilus, abbotti, eumesus, suavis (Borneo), nigricauda, stricklandii and barbouri are the other island forms. Race tricolor is found in the Sumatra, Java, Banka, Belitung and Karimata islands. Southern China has race minor while mallopercnus is found in the Malay peninsula. Race albiventris is found in the Andaman Islands, interpositus from southwester China to Myanmar, Thailand and the Mergui Archipelago. Race indicus is found in the northern parts of India. The nominate race is found in the Western Ghats and parts of southern India while leggei is found in Sri Lanka. In Hawaii, they are common in valley forests or on the ridges of the southern Ko'olaus, and tend to nest in undergrowth or low trees of lowland broadleaf forests. In Asia, their habitat is dense undergrowth especially in bamboo forests. They have been introduced to Taiwan where they are considered an invasive species, eating native insect species and showing aggression towards native bird species.

Their popularity as a cage bird has led to many escaped birds establishing themselves. They are native to South and Southeast Asia, but have been introduced to Kaua'i, Hawai'i, in early 1931 from Malaysia (by Alexander Isenberger), and to O'ahu in 1940 (by the Hui Manu Society).
