Feeding Habits
Tibetan Bunting primarily consumes various seeds, shifting to an insectivorous diet during the breeding season, including flies, caterpillars, and grasshoppers. They forage almost exclusively on the ground and may be observed in pairs or small flocks, especially in winter.
Habitat
The habitat of tibetan Bunting includes sparse, steep slopes with scrubby vegetation found above the tree-line. It is characterized by an affinity for environments rich in dwarf alpine shrubs such as cotoneaster, juniper, barberry, Ribes, Rosa, and Cistus, often located at the base of steep cliffs. These habitats often coincide with alpine grasslands that are subject to seasonal grazing by indigenous herbivores.

Behavior
The domed nest structure of this species appears to be unique amongst the Emberizinae buntings which have open nest structures. Female lays 3 or 4 eggs. They eat grains in winter and insects, like butterflies, grasshoppers and beetles, in summer. Main predators of Tibetan bunting are birds of prey like falcons and owls and mammals like foxes, weasels and badgers.
