In Pakistan, the Brahminy Starling is primarily found in the northern and northwestern regions, including Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. It inhabits a variety of habitats, including open woodlands, farmland, and urban areas.

These birds are social and often seen in small flocks or pairs. They are omnivorous, feeding on insects, fruits, and seeds. Brahminy Starlings are known for their melodious calls and are active during the day, foraging for food in trees and on the ground. They are also known to adapt well to human-modified landscapes, making them common sights in urban areas and agricultural fields across Pakistan.
