Where can you find painted Bunting?
With their beautiful, almost surreal rainbow coloring, painted Buntings are a sight to behold when they stop by home bird feeders. Their natural beauty, however, was the reason thousands of them were caught in the U.S. and shipped to Europe where they were sold as caged songbirds in the mid-1800s. Although trapping and selling these birds is now illegal, it still happens in large numbers in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
