The Resilient Scarlet Macaw

Meet Phillo

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

Hello there, I’m Phillo! You might remember me from a Kiwa Centre video where my beak, dramatically overgrown and twisted over my head, shocked many viewers. Thanks to regular veterinary care, I've made incredible progress. Although my beak still looks quite different and requires frequent care, it doesn't stop me from being the first at the food dish every morning!

A Journey to Health

My journey has been a testament to resilience. Regular vet visits help keep my beak manageable, allowing me to enjoy life to the fullest. I've grown bolder and more confident with each passing day, often coming down to greet my keepers, especially when they bring walnuts—my absolute favourite.

Daily Delights and Social Life


The highlight of my day is spending time with my best friend, a Blue-and-yellow macaw, on the ropes of our home. We love to preen each other and share moments of closeness. I'm quite agile, often seen hanging upside down from the ropes or somersaulting around to snag the best pieces of willow—my preferred chew toy. I relish stripping the buds off the branches and then working over the tough wood with my beak. I even taught myself how to fly since coming to Kiwa!
