The Bohemian Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) is a medium-sized songbird known for its distinctive plumage and crested head.

The Bohemian Waxwing is a rare winter visitor. It is predominantly found in the northern regions, particularly in forested areas and high-altitude mountainous regions. Its presence in Pakistan is sporadic and dependent on seasonal migrations.

Bohemian Waxwings are highly social birds often found in large flocks during the winter months. They are known for their synchronized movements and melodious calls. Their behavior revolves around foraging for berries and fruit, and they may also visit gardens and orchards in search of food. Their migration patterns are influenced by food availability and weather conditions.
