Are you trying to identify a bird found in Pakistan?
If so, you’ve come to the right place!
Due to the sheer number of species, there was no way to include EVERY bird in Pakistan in this article. So instead, I tried to focus on the birds that are most regularly seen and observed.
22 COMMON birds found in Pakistan!
#1. Fire-Fronted Serin Serinus pusillus
You can find these beautiful birds in mountainous regions with plenty of trees. In fact, it most commonly lives 1.5-4 km (1-2.5 miles) above sea level, half the height of Mount Everest.
Fire-fronted Serins are primarily herbivores and live on seeds, flower heads, shoots, and berries. However, they will eat the occasional insect, especially during the breeding season when they need extra protein.
This member of the finch family has a sweet voice. Their song can be likened to “twi-ih-ih-ih-ih-ih-ih.”
Adults grow up to 16 cm (6.3 in) long.
Males have a dark gray head with black horizontal stripes, a gray chest, and rusty underparts, with brown-striped backs and wings.
Females have a similar pattern but are paler in color overall.
Rock Buntings, which are also known as Mountain Buntings, prefer rocky mountainous landscapes, which is how they got their name. Look for this bird in Pakistan perched on rocks, bushes, or outcroppings.
This species eats insects during the breeding season and then switches to seeds, berries, and fruits afterward. They feed almost constantly when active and are often spotted beside roadways gathering food.
Rock Buntings are mostly altitudinal migrants. This means that instead of traveling north and south to find better weather, they travel up and down the mountains! During inclement weather, Rock Buntings will move below the snow line and back up once the weather clears.
Their most common call is a high-pitched “see—see—see—see.” Add Your Heading Text Here
