Native to eastern slopes of the Andes from northern Peru south to northwestern Argentina, where it occurs in humid forests, edges, and partly wooded habitats at elevations that span approximately 1,000 to 3,500m.<\/p>

Range is somewhat discontinuous, with significant population centers in four disjunct areas: (1) the distinctive, isolated subspecies chlorogenys<\/em> in northern Peru (southern Amazonas and northern San Mart\u00edn); (2) central Peru from Huanuco to Cuzco; (3) central Bolivia from La Paz to Santa Cruz; (4) southernmost Bolivia to Catamarca, Argentina.<\/p>

Introduced urban populations are established in: the Bay Area and Los Angeles, California; southeastern Florida; Buenos Aires and La Plata, Argentina; and Barcelona, Spain.\u00a0 Smaller populations are more tenuously established around Lima and Arequipa, Peru.<\/p>

In Hawaii, an introduced population on eastern Maui grew to over 200 during the 1990s, but it became the focus of a control program, and only a few remained into the 2010s.\u00a0 Starting in the late 1990s, small flocks have occasionally been observed on the Big Island along the Kona Coast.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
