The Vigilant Scarlet Macaw

Meet Wanda

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

Hello there! I'm Wanda. With a strong character and a penchant for leadership, I tend to take charge among the birds here. I decide where to perch and what to do, and if someone is in my way, well, I simply make them move! Nothing happens in this aviary without me being in the thick of it.

Get to know Wanda

A Harsh Past and a Bright Future

I was one of the three birds, along with my brother Vision, and Simon who lived in a cramped, dark cage where we could barely move. It was a dreary life with little to do. Fortunately, we were rescued by the World Parrot Trust in 2016 and brought to this beautiful, spacious aviary in the English countryside. The transition to a life filled with natural light and ample space to roam has been incredible and life-changing. I've never been happier!

Bonds of Protection


Having spent so much time in close quarters, Simon, Vision, and I have developed a deep bond. I see myself as a protector, especially for my brother Vision, who is quieter and sometimes finds himself the target of other birds' antics. I've taught him how to stand up for himself, and I'm always ready to dive into the fray to defend him if needed.
