Short Description:

The Orange-headed Thrush (Geokichla citrina) is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive orange head, blackish wings, and a yellowish-orange underbelly. It has a melodious song and is known for its shy and elusive nature.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

In Pakistan, the Orange-headed Thrush is primarily found in forested areas, including tropical and subtropical forests, as well as wooded gardens and parks. It is distributed across various regions of the country, including northern Pakistan, the Himalayan foothills, and some parts of Balochistan.

This bird is generally solitary or found in pairs during the breeding season. It forages on the forest floor, hopping and probing for insects, earthworms, and berries. Its shy behavior often keeps it hidden among dense foliage, making it challenging to spot despite its vibrant plumage. During the breeding season, males sing to establish territories and attract mates.
