[4] The Chilean mockingbird is found in Chile from Copiapó Province in the Atacama Region south to Los Lagos, Puerto Montt, and Chiloé Island.

Examples include succulent coastal scrub, inland savanna bushland, and evergreen Chilean matorral.

It also occurs at the edges of low relict woodland patches such as those in Bosque de Fray Jorge National Park and in disturbed habitats, though only rarely in urban areas.

[4] The Chilean mockingbird forages mainly on the ground, turning over leaf litter and digging under fallen branches and around plant stems.

Their nest is a cup made of twigs lined with moss or wool, placed low in vegetion such as cacti and thorny bushes.
