Painted Bunting

The French name of the Painted Bunting, nonpareil, means “without equal” — a reference to the male’s breathtaking plumage. Its vivid color will bring a flare of delight to anyone you choose to send it to.

Every Painted Bunting adoption helps support Audubon’s commitment to Equity, Diversity & Inclusion and ED&I programs such as Let’s Go Birding Together.

You’ll receive:

A lifelike plush Painted Bunting that plays a recording of its call when squeezed
Adoption certificate and personalized letter from the National Audubon Society

$60

How Bird Adoption Works

When you adopt a bird from Audubon, your gift helps protect birds and the places they need – today and tomorrow.

With each bird adoption, you’ll receive a lifelike plush bird as a symbol of your generous gift - along with a certificate of adoption, a beautiful bird photo, and unlimited eCards to send to your family and loved ones.
