Buntings are seed eaters, and you might find them gleaning seeds along the roadsides or you can attract them to a feeder with white millet. I am currently using a cage feeder to keep the grackles out, but I have had them be very happy at tray feeders as well as hopper feeders. I had them in the back yard in North Mount Pleasant as well as the Old Village in Mount Pleasant. Stop by the Wild Birds Unlimited in Mount Pleasant and they’ll get you totally set up.
Because they’re so colorful, they are great birds to watch with kids: one of my youngest’s first words was a version of Painted Bunting.
