These are common in the city of Cali where they were introduced around 1971 and they're on the move. Steven Hilty in his guide to the birds of Colombia published in 1986 gives them an altitudinal range to 1000m but I photographed this guy at 2100m. They are a popular cage bird and while there are three native populations in different regions of South America they have been released elsewhere.
