Short Description:

The Black-headed Ibis is a medium-sized wading bird with a distinctive appearance. It has a long, curved bill, which it uses to probe in the mud for food. As its name suggests, it has a black head, neck, and upper chest, contrasting with white plumage on the rest of its body. During breeding season, adults develop long, white plumes on their nape and breast, adding to their striking appearance.

In Pakistan, the Black-headed Ibis is found throughout the country, particularly in wetland habitats such as marshes, lakes, rivers, and flooded agricultural fields. It is also known to frequent urban areas, where it can be seen foraging in parks, gardens, and even garbage dumps.

Black-headed Ibises are primarily diurnal and are often observed foraging in shallow water or wet mud, using their long bills to probe for prey such as insects, crustaceans, small fish, and amphibians. They may also feed on agricultural fields, where they search for insects and small vertebrates.
