The Chestnut Bunting can be found in various habitats across the country, including grasslands, agricultural fields, and open woodlands. It is primarily a summer visitor, arriving in Pakistan during the breeding season and migrating southward during winter months.

During the breeding season, male Chestnut Buntings are known for their territorial behavior, often singing from prominent perches to establish and defend their territories. They construct cup-shaped nests on the ground or low in shrubs, where females lay their eggs. Outside of the breeding season, they may form small flocks for migration.
