Just curious why you want to know - are you trying to get them to your feeders? If so try placing your feeder near cover but not necessarily right in it. They like to see what's around (predators, etc). Feed WHITE MILLET or a mixture with mostly that seed. It also helps to have caging around the feeders. 1 x 2 inch fencing surrounding the feeder helps keep bigger and more aggressive birds out while letting the buntings in.
