The beautiful Hummingbird is typically found in arid and semi-arid montane scrublands characterized by sparse vegetation. These regions are often enriched with a mix of shrubs and scattered trees, offering the birds suitable conditions for foraging and nesting. Additionally, beautiful Hummingbird inhabits areas along rivers and streams, known as riparian woods, where the availability of water supports a richer biodiversity, providing ample feeding opportunities. The beautiful Hummingbird favors ecosystems across broad highland regions that encompass such diverse habitats, avoiding dense forest interiors and lowland tropical areas.

Species Status
This species has a very large range and therefore does not approach vulnerable thresholds under the range size criterion of the IUCN. The population trend appears to be stable and therefore the species does not approach the trend criterion in order to be listed as vulnerable (> 30% decrease in ten years or three generations). Population size may be moderately small to large, but it is not believed to approach vulnerable thresholds as there's more than 10,000 mature individuals with an estimated continuous decline of> 10% over ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure. For these reasons, the species is rated as least concern.
