1. Bunting

   Buntings are a group of Eurasian and African passerine birds of the family Emberizidae. They are seed-eating birds with stubby, conical bills, and are the Old World equivalents of the species known in North America as sparrows. Their habits are similar to those of finches, with which they sometimes used to be grouped. Some emberizids are still named "finches" rather than "buntings". Conversely, there are species retaining the name "bunting" which are now classed in the cardinal family. Among those are the Painted and Indigo Buntings.
