The Ground Patroller

Meet Joe

Species: Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao)
Sex: Male
Residence: Kiwa Centre, English Countryside

Hello there! I’m Joe, the Scarlet Macaw often referred to as the "King of the Floors" here at the Kiwa Centre. I'm not the most sociable bird around, but I cherish the quiet life with my partner in our cosy corner of the aviary. While I may keep to myself, I do enjoy keeping everything in order on the ground, patrolling diligently and occasionally stumbling upon a tasty treat - though let's keep that between us!

Get to know Joe

A Reserved Nature

My partner and I prefer our solitude, and we spend our time away from the hustle and bustle of the main flock. I am a bit shy but grow fond of my women carers who take time to get to know me. I enjoy their company, especially when they offer treats or sit down for some gentle head scratches. However, I must admit, men tend to make me a bit grumpy and territorial.

Ground-Level Living


Flying isn't really my forte - I much prefer to walk or climb around my environment. This preference for ground-level exploration allows me to chew on branches and keep a close eye on the aviary floor, where all sorts of interesting things can be found.

Companionship and Care


My partner and I share a special bond, preening and feeding each other in our little sanctuary. It's a peaceful life, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
