Common Mynas are widespread throughout Pakistan, inhabiting urban and rural areas alike. They are commonly found in gardens, parks, agricultural fields, and around human settlements across the country.

These birds are highly adaptable and social, often seen in pairs or small groups. They are opportunistic feeders, consuming a varied diet that includes insects, fruits, scraps, and even small vertebrates. Common Mynas are known for their vocalizations, producing a variety of calls, chirps, and squawks. They are also notorious for their aggressive behavior towards other bird species and may compete for nesting sites.
