White-browed Fantail (Rhipidura aureola) is a small passerine bird found in various regions across Pakistan. It features distinctive white markings above the eyes, which give it its name. With a sleek grey body and a long, elegant tail that it often fans out, this bird is known for its agile and graceful movements as it flits through the foliage.

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

White-browed Fantail inhabits a variety of habitats, including forests, woodlands, gardens, and parks. It can be found in both lowland and mountainous regions throughout the country. This species is relatively common in suitable habitats across Pakistan, though it may be more prevalent in certain areas depending on local environmental conditions.

White-browed Fantails are highly active and agile birds, often seen darting amongst branches and foliage in search of insects, their primary food source. They are known for their distinctive fan-shaped tail movements, which they use for balance and communication. These birds are typically solitary or found in pairs during the breeding season, but they may form small mixed-species flocks outside of the breeding period. White-browed Fantails are known for their melodious songs and may engage in territorial singing to establish and defend their breeding territories.
