If wyvern like creature evolved naturally what would its ideal habitat be?

In fantasy literature wyvern's often have their habitat set as extreme mountains. Sometimes even depicted as needing to drop from a height in order to take off. Evolutionarily speaking this does not make sense to me. It seems to me the calorie requirements of a flying creature large enough to carry people would be quite high and not supportable in standard mountain biome. Also, if such a creature evolved naturally it is more likely that it could take off on its own without the drop.

What are the environmental requirements/considerations for a wyvern's habitat from an evolutionary perspective?
