This bird lives in the forests of the Andes mountains.
The Andes Mountains run from Venezuela to Chile all along the western coast of South America. Some of the highest mountains in the world are part of the Andes. The Andes are the ancient home of the Incas. In Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador you can find what scientists call the "Tropical Andes." These mountains are particularly important to conservationists because they have a large number of species that are found nowhere else in the world.
