Feeding Habits
White-capped Bunting primarily consumes grass seeds, supplemented by berries in colder seasons. The young are fed insects and spiders. White-capped Bunting forages in bushes and on the ground in a distinctive hunched posture. It often joins other buntings and finches at communal watering sites during dawn and dusk, retreating to the shelter of bushes in midday heat, displaying a ruffled crest.
Habitat
The white-capped Bunting's natural environment encompasses rocky gullies within arid, sparsely vegetated hills and mountains. It predominantly dwells amid juniper scrub and chilgoza pine stands, typically situated in areas characterized by dry foothills, scrub-jungles, marginal agricultural lands, and plains margins with dispersed bushes. The species displays a preference for overlapping territories with its relative at varying elevations, generally occupying the lower zones.
