The forest fody ranges across eastern Madagascar from the northern to the southern ends of the island. There are a few outlier populations in the southwest of the island, including on the Isalo and Analavelona massifs.[1]
Its natural habitat is lowland rainforest and humid and subhumid montane forests up to 2,000 meters elevation.[1]
