Black-headed Jay is primarily found in the northern and northwestern regions, including parts of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Azad Kashmir. It inhabits a variety of forested habitats, including coniferous and mixed deciduous forests, as well as wooded areas near streams and rivers. Within these habitats, it can be observed at various elevations, from lowland forests to montane regions.

Black-headed Jay exhibits a diverse range of behaviors reflective of its adaptable nature. It is often observed foraging in small groups or family units, searching for insects, fruits, seeds, and small vertebrates among the foliage and forest floor. Its raucous calls and social interactions are characteristic of its gregarious nature, with individuals communicating vocally and engaging in cooperative behaviors such as mobbing potential predators.
