Indigo Bunting Pittsboro NC
Male Painted Buntings learn to sing their complex tunes from other males near their territory instead of from their parents. As a whole, these songs are repeated and may evolve into a certain kind of uniformity over the years which Iââ¬â¢d loosely describe as a small localized accent or dialect shared by nearby males. In fact, a male Painted Buntings can tell when an intruder Bunting is ââ¬Ënot from around here just by his song.
