In Pakistan, Chestnut-tailed Starlings are primarily found in the northern and northwestern regions, including the Himalayan foothills, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. They inhabit a variety of habitats, including forests, scrublands, agricultural areas, and urban environments.
These starlings are highly social birds often seen in flocks, foraging on the ground or in trees for insects, fruits, and seeds. They are known for their melodious calls and are often heard vocalizing in chorus. During the breeding season, they form monogamous pairs and build cup-shaped nests in tree hollows or crevices.
