The Slender-billed Gull (Chroicocephalus genei) is a migratory bird species found in Pakistan. It is commonly spotted along the coastal areas of the country, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan provinces, during its winter migration period. This species prefers coastal habitats such as mudflats, estuaries, and lagoons.

In Pakistan, Slender-billed Gulls exhibit a gregarious behavior, often forming large flocks, especially during feeding and roosting times. They are opportunistic feeders, preying on small fish, crustaceans, insects, and scavenging for food in coastal areas.
