In Pakistan, the Red-billed Leiothrix is primarily found in the northern regions, particularly in the mountainous areas close to the Himalayas. They inhabit dense forests, shrublands, and areas with thick undergrowth where they can forage for food and find suitable nesting sites.

Red-billed Leiothrix birds are social creatures often seen in small flocks, especially during the breeding season. They are omnivorous, feeding on a varied diet consisting of insects, fruits, seeds, and nectar. Their behavior includes hopping and flitting about in the undergrowth while foraging for food. During the breeding season, males are known for their elaborate courtship displays, which involve singing and displaying their colorful plumage to attract mates. They build cup-shaped nests in dense vegetation and raise their young cooperatively. Overall, they are active, vocal birds that contribute to the biodiversity of the regions they inhabit in Pakistan.
