Short Description:

The Indian Robin (Copsychus fulicatus) is a small, passerine bird found in Pakistan. Males sport glossy black plumage with a white belly and prominent white patches on their wings, while females are brownish with streaks. Both sexes have a distinctive white stripe above the eye. They are known for their melodious songs and agile movements, often seen hopping on the ground in search of insects.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

Indian Robins inhabit various habitats across Pakistan, including open woodlands, scrublands, gardens, and urban areas. They are particularly common in the northern regions of Pakistan, including Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan.

These birds are primarily insectivorous, feeding on a variety of insects, worms, and small invertebrates. They are territorial during the breeding season, with males engaging in elaborate courtship displays to attract mates. Indian Robins are known for their acrobatic flight patterns and ground-hopping behavior while foraging. They are generally solitary or found in pairs outside of the breeding season.
