Lolita's Personality
Macaws are an excellent companion bird. They are intelligent and affectionate. They thrive in well-rounded families. They are easily bored and will find other ways to entertain themselves when their owners don't interact with them enough. If they are not socialized properly macaws may become aggressive and even bite. It is important that boundaries are clearly defined so that the macaw doesn't feel threatened.
In general, Blue and Gold Macaws are energetic birds that enjoy playing, climbing and play. They should spend at least 2 to 3 hours a day outdoors for mental stimulation and physical exercise. They enjoy playing games, experimenting with tricks and listening to music. They love visiting playgrounds and parks as much as hiking, local restaurants and bars. In addition to being a fun pet, they also make wonderful companions for children.
These birds can be very loud, despite their adoration for their mate. They can also be a nuisance for those living nearby. They can be heard making high-pitched screech-calls and ear-piercing calls, which can be disruptive in condominiums and apartments, or near children who might be startled by their noise.
This species is also monomorphic. Males and females can be difficult to distinguish. Due to this the only way to reliably identify sex is through DNA testing. Once sex is established, pairing the birds can be attempted and breeding can begin.
Blue and Gold Macaws, like all pets require training to master commands and phrases. It is a lengthy process and the pet's owner must be patient and realize that this is a challenging task. The use of positive reinforcement can speed up the process and aid in resolving any behavioral issues.
Lolita's Care
Since the 1960s, activists have been pleading for Lolita to retire from performing tricks at Miami Seaquarium. They also would like her to be relocated to an open-water pen. After the 1993 hit movie Free Willy stirred public outrage over orca Keiko's reintegration back into the wild, marine biologists hoped that Lolita might have a similar fate. Unfortunately, she didn't get the chance to go back to the ocean.
Lolita's captors, also known as the Dolphin Company, have ignored the advice of a vet and continued to put her at risk. They are a danger to her health by forcing Lolita to perform for tourists. They push her to the limit with high-speed circles and head-first diving, which exposes her to chlorine and cause her to lose weight. In addition, they keep her in an incredibly small tank that is just one-and-a-half times the size of her natural habitat.
In 2022, the new owner of Miami Seaquarium, who calls Lolita a relative of theirs, promised to develop a plan with a group of Lolita supporters called Friends of Toki, and the Lummi Tribe to transport her to open water eventually. The plan would have included a sanctuary on Washington's west coast where she could stay for the duration of her life, receive human care and be monitored by researchers. The sanctuary pen was expected to be hundreds of times larger than her Miami home and was surrounded by ocean, but not concrete tanks.
If the plan was successful, Lolita (also called Tokitae or Toki) could still be alive. In Darling hahns macaw are extremely social animals that are bonded with family members until they die. Lolita has been living in a secluded area at Seaquarium for the past 40 years. Activists across the country, including Ric O'Barry (former Flipper trainer), Empty The Tanks and Orca Network, have called for her to retire from Seaquarium's stage and eventual release into the wild.

They might even play a game of squabbling and chewing at times particularly when they are unhappy or annoyed. This kind of behavior is expected of potential pet owners.
Miami Seaquarium released a series updates on the status of Lolita's health, but there are still questions. Akromas and others who have supervised or trained Lolita's health at some point are concerned about her diet. According to the latest update on the Friends of Lolita site, she consumes 115 pounds of salmon every day, as well as capelin, herring, and squid.
Miami Seaquarium, and in particular Lolita is being criticised for the quality of the food they feed killer whales. The orca, who was 57 years old, was rescued from Puget Sound in 1970, and despite being threatened in the wild, she lives in an aquarium that some claim is too small for her.
Lolita's Health
While her beauty is evident However, her health continues to get worse. Her health has been a cause of concern for animal welfare organizations who wish to see her released back into the wild. Lolita is a resident of the Miami Seaquarium since 1970 and was a tourist attraction for decades. She has been fighting chronic illnesses and an infection that has left in a vulnerable state.
The Miami Seaquarium is now owned by the Dolphin Company, has not shared information on Lolita's current condition. Friends of Toki, a non-profit organization, has posted monthly updates on her health and well-being on their website. They show that she is aging quickly and her health is deteriorating.
It is unclear what specific health issues are affecting the orca, since her captor is not required to divulge the information. The Orca Project created a repository of necropsies from Sea World. This shows that kidney disease often plays an integral part in the deaths of captive orcas.
Despite these ongoing health concerns Many are hopeful that Lolita may be closer to a life in the wild than before. The new owner of the Seaquarium has pledged to removing the whale of her tank and into her natural habitat in the Pacific.
The move comes after years of public pressure, including from PETA and PETA, to have the Miami Seaquarium release Lolita into an ocean-side sanctuary where she could swim deep in the ocean, and possibly even be reunited with the orca thought to be her mother. The plans were not enough to save the beloved whale, which died on Friday as a result of what was thought to be a kidney problem.
