Lolita's Personality

Macaws are wonderful companion birds. They are intelligent and affectionate. These birds do best with well-rounded families. They are prone to becoming bored and will find other ways to entertain themselves when their owners aren't interacting with them enough. If they are not socialized properly macaws can become aggressive and can even bite. It is crucial to establish clear boundaries so the severe macaw does not feel threatened.

Blue and Gold Macaws, in general are active birds who are a joy to play with, interact with, and climb. They must spend at least 2 to 3 hours each day in the outdoors to keep their minds stimulated and for physical exercise. They enjoy playing games while listening to music, and learning new tricks. They enjoy visiting parks and playgrounds as well as hiking, local restaurants and bars. They are not only an excellent pet, but is also a great pet for children.

The birds can be quite loud, despite their love for their mate. They can also be a nuisance for people living near. They can be heard making ear-splitting calls and screeches, which can be a nuisance for those who live in condos or apartments.

This species is also monomorphic. Females and males can be difficult to distinguish. Due to this, the only way to reliably identify sex is through DNA testing. Once the birds' sex is established and breeding can begin, breeding can commence.

Like all pets, Blue and Gold Macaws require training to master commands, phrases and tricks. This isn't a simple process, and it is crucial that the owner has patience and understands that this isn't a task to be taken lightly. The use of positive reinforcement can help speed up the process and aid in resolving any behavioral issues.

Lolita's care

Since the 1960s, activists have been pleading for Lolita to cease performing tricks in Miami Seaquarium. They also would like her to be relocated to an open-water pen. Following the 1993 film Free Willy sparked public outrage over the returning of orca Keiko into the wild, activists were hopeful that Lolita would suffer a similar fate. Unfortunately, she didn't get a chance to return to the sea.

Lolita's captors, also known as the Dolphin Company, have ignored the advice of a vet and continued to put her in danger. They sabotage her health by making her perform for tourists, putting too much stress on her with head-first dives, exposing her to chlorine, causing her to lose weight and sabotaging her immune system. Additionally, they place her in a tiny tank that is only 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 included a facility in Washington's westcoast where she could live for the rest of her days receiving human care and be monitored by scientists. The sanctuary pen would be hundreds of times larger than her Miami home and be surrounded by the ocean itself, not a concrete tank.

If the plan was implemented, Lolita (also known as Tokitae or Toki) could still be alive today. In the wild, killer whales are highly social animals who bond with family members until they die. Lolita, who has lived in a solitary space at Seaquarium in a cage for 40 years, is being released into the wild. People from all over the country have called for Lolita's release from Seaquarium and eventual release in the wild. These activists include Ric O'Barry, a former Flipper trainer, Empty The Tanks, and Orca Network.

Lolita's Diet

As with any animal species, a captive gold and blue severe macaw's health is contingent on a healthy diet. These beautiful birds require premium food, as well as plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. In captivity, a macaw well-fed can expect to live up to 60 years. In addition, this majestic bird needs plenty of room to fly and exercise.

Miami Seaquarium released a series updates on Lolita's status and health However, there are still questions. Akromas and others who have been trained or supervised Lolita's health in the past are concerned about her diet. According to the latest update on the Friends of Lolita site, she eats 115 pounds of salmon a day, as well as capelin, herring, and squid.

The Miami Seaquarium has been criticized for the quality of the food they provide their killer whales, especially Lolita. The orca, who was 57 years old, was removed from Puget Sound, Washington, in the year 1970. Although the species is in danger, she lives in a tank that some consider to be too small.

Lolita's Health

While her beauty is undeniable, Lolita's health continues to get worse. She has been a source of concern for animal welfare groups who would like to see her released back to the wild. Lolita is a resident of the Miami Seaquarium since 1970 and was a tourist attraction for decades. She has battled chronic illnesses and an infection that has left in a vulnerable state.

The Dolphin Company, which now is the owner of the Miami Seaquarium and is owned by the Dolphin Company has not provided any details regarding the condition of Lolita. Friends of Toki, a non-profit organization, has posted monthly updates on her health and well-being on their website. These updates indicate that Toki is aging quickly and her health has declined.

Since her captor does not have to divulge the information, it's unclear which specific health issues the orca is suffering from. The Orca Project created a repository of necropsies from Sea World. This shows that kidney diseases often play an integral role in the deaths of captive orcas.

Despite the health issues that continue to plague of Lolita, many people are hopeful that she could be closer than ever before to an unspoiled life. The new owner of Seaquarium has pledged to relocate the whale out of her tank into her native waters in the Pacific.

The decision comes after years of public pressure and demands, including from PETA, that the Miami Seaquarium release Lolita into an ocean-side sanctuary where she could swim deep in the ocean, and possibly even reunite with the orca thought to be her mother. Sadly the plans came too late for the whale that was so beloved, who passed away on Friday due to what was believed to be a renal problem.
