Where does yellow-billed Chough usually live?
It has nested at 6,500 m (21,300 ft), higher than any other bird species, even surpassing the red-billed chough which has a diet less well adapted to the highest altitudes. It usually nests in cavities and fissures on inaccessible rock faces, although locally it will use holes between rocks in fields, and forages in open habitats such as alpine meadows and scree slopes to the tree line or lower, and in winter will often congregate around human settlements, ski resorts, hotels and other tourist facilities.
