The short-tailed idioppsar is a small bird with a very short tail. It lives high in the mountains of South America among rocks and grass.
The short-tailed idioppsar differs from related species by its very short tail, which helps it live on rocky slopes. The bird is important for nature because it disperses seeds of high-mountain meadow plants.
