Feeding Habits
Meadow Bunting predominantly feeds on seeds from grasses and weeds, supplemented by invertebrates. It forages on the ground, adeptly picking seeds or catching prey. A notable preference for certain seeds may exist, reflecting a unique dietary adaptation.
Habitat
The meadow Bunting thrives in a variety of open and semi-open environments, such as lightly wooded hills, scrublands, and grasslands. These birds are indigenous to regions featuring rocky steppe and forest-steppe terrains, as well as open coniferous forests on slopes. They are well-adapted to both natural and human-altered terrains, including farmlands and areas near settlements, up to altitudes of 1700 meters.
