The cup-shaped depression in the top of the jewel is the oil cup ; its purpose is to hold the lubricating oil ( yellow ) in contact with the bearing shaft by capillary action.

They nest in tree hollows or niches in walls or building. They are also known to have used artificial nesting areas provided by humans, like Nest boxes. They use hay, grass and twigs as building materials for their cup-shaped nests. Hay provides warmth which is essential for egg incubation.
